This is the first volume of and open-ended unnumbered series of
cartographic studies to assemble a multi-volume historical atlas for
Quebec, from the beginning to present time. The contents for the whole is
not necessarily designed along chronological periods but rather thematic
approaches.
They say:" L'Atlas historique du Quebec est une collection d'ouvrages
thematiques consacres a l'experience historique de la societe quebecoise.
Elle regroupe des equipes de chercheurs reconnus, preoccupes de donner une
dimension spatiale a leurs analyses historiques".
This volume is produced under the intellectual leadership of a
multidisciplinary research group within an inter-university historical
geography center (Universite Laval, Universite du Quebec a Trois-Rivieres,
Universite du Quebec a Montreal) called Centre interuniversitaire d'etudes
quebecoise. More volumes are already in progress.
See what may happen when geographers revisit History in a spatial
analysis and multi-graphic approach. You will just be delighted!
Serge Courville published his INTRODUCTION A LA GEOGRAPHIE HISTORIQUE
(Presses de l'Universite Laval) last spring. His atlas illustrates his
methodological approach in scripto-graphic form.
I am certainly biaised but I can assure you that this atlas, fully
computer-produced, is a pretty good illustration of the trend towards
publication of printed multimedia atlases.
