eveloped by a team of historians, literary scholars, librarians, and information specialists, a History of the Book in Canada/Histoire du livre et de l'imprimé au Canada defines Canada’s place within an international network of book history studies. HBiC/HLIC was funded in 2000 under the Major Collaborative Research Initiatives Program of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

The five-year project will publish six volumes (three in English, three in French) in conjunction with the University of Toronto Press and Les Presses de l’Université de Montréal. Databases supporting scholarship in book history will also be compiled and made available on the project web site. The seven editors, coordinating research from six universities across Canada, welcome collaboration with new and established scholars.
