Abstract
The study of regions has become a central focus of historical research during the past two decades. However, anglophone and francophone scholars have developed quite distinct approaches to regional history, and their recent work has reinforced the traditional research solitudes. The article suggests the potential of integrating the strengths of the two approaches, and describes this potential in terms of one example, the Outaouais on the north shore of the Ottawa River. The new regional history represents an effort both to enhance understanding of specific communities and to promote comparative analyses of similarity and diversity across time and space.
