Abstract
The Historical Atlas of Canada was the outcome of a major interdisciplinary research project involving scholars from across Canada and supported by public funds. This paper examines the time and resources required to produce the three volumes, and assesses the benefits to both the scholarly community and the lay public. In spite of the multiple problems of displaying historical information in cartographic form, the project succeeded admirably in providing a coherent geographical perspective on Canada's past.
