Abstract

A Bibliography on Indigenous Peoples and the History of the Atlantic Region John R.H. Matchim (bio) John R.H. Matchim JOHN R.H. MATCHIM est étudiant au doctorat au Département d'histoire de l'Université du Nouveau-Brunswick. Il a rédigé un chapitre intitulé « Sport in a Northern Borderland: A History of Athletics and Play in the Grenfell Mission, 1890s-1940s » dans l'ouvrage collectif The Grenfell Medical Mission and American Support in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1890s-1940s (Montréal et Kingston, McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019) et il mène présentement des recherches sur les navires-hôpitaux de l'International Grenfell Association et les soins de santé dans les régions rurales éloignées du Labrador. JOHN R.H. MATCHIM is a doctoral candidate in the University of New Brunswick's Department of History. He contributed a chapter to the collection The Grenfell Medical Mission and American Support in Newfoundland and Labrador, 1890s-1940s (Montreal and Kingston: McGill-Queen's University Press, 2019) – "Sport in a Northern Borderland: A History of Athletics and Play in the Grenfell Mission, 1890s-1940s" – and is researching International Grenfell Association hospital ships and rural-remote health care in Labrador. BEFORE BEGINNING WORK ON THIS BIBLIOGRAPHY, a number of difficult decisions had to be made concerning its scope and content. First, it was necessary to determine the geographic parameters of this bibliography – to define an "Atlantic Region" – and ultimately I decided to extend its reach from Ungava Bay in the north to the Gulf of Maine in the south, and from the St. Lawrence River in the west to Newfoundland in the east. These boundaries, of course, are to some extent arbitrary, and they exclude interactions between regions such as Labrador and Greenland, but they were necessary to make this project practicable. And while I have sought to include as many disciplines as possible, including archaeology, anthropology, and linguistics as well as local histories and reports produced by various levels of government, this is primarily a bibliography of historical scholarship. As such, the works included here largely cover a period extending from the 15th to the 20th centuries. While all of these decisions have resulted in important exclusions, they have been made so that this bibliography is as comprehensive, balanced, and contemporary as possible. The preponderance of material from the past two decades, it should also be noted, reflects the burgeoning work and interest in this field. Books Anderson, Chris.
