CCHA, Historical
Studies, 65 (1999), 7
Following the custom of the Canadian
Catholic Historical Association, this issue of its journal features a selection
of papers from the 1998 annual meeting of its English section. Papers presented
at the meeting at the University of Ottawa, but not printed here for various
reasons (either not offered to the
editors, published elsewhere, or declined after expert assessment), are listed
separately on page 8.
With this issue we are most pleased to note
(as indicated on the copyright page), that Historical Studies is now
indexed in the Catholic Periodical and Literature Index and in the Canadian
Historical Review’s “Recent Publications Relating to Canada.”
A new feature, with this issue, is the
printing of Abstracts (in both English and French) of our articles, beginning
on page 125.
The editing of an academic journal
requires, of course, the cooperation of quite a number of people who are
willing to give of their energy and expertise in the aid of research and
scholarship. We are pleased to acknowledge the assistance of all who assisted
the editors this year. We are especially grateful to our authors for submitting
their manuscripts, and for responding so graciously, effectively, and promptly
to the suggestions for revision provided by our assessors and the editors. Our
anonymous assessors have earned the gratitude of both the editors and our
authors for their critical and helpful comments on all the papers that we sent
to them. We would also like to acknowledge the support and advice of our
Editorial Board. As always, Mr. Gilles Lépine of Novalis was especially helpful
with technical issues. Finally, both the journal and the Association are most
grateful to the Secretary General of the Canadian Catholic Historical
Association, Fr. Edward Jackman, O.P., for generous financial support and
encouragement.
