specialists in early (16th c) history of Quebec City

[doeraymee]

anyone know what the standard texts/scholars are for this subject? I am just looking for the top three or so in order to get an overview of the subject. The most current scholarship in book form preferably. Keep coming across these so I will check them out.
Allan Greer, The People of New France
Marcel Trudel, THe beginnnings of New France

I hope you read French.

has a point.

Don't forget to look for French sources and you should be able to get translations of the 'major' works.

Here's some online info about a course (http://faculty.marianopolis.edu/c.belanger/quebechistory/index.htm) in Quebec History. Why not email the instructor for recommendations?

There's also an official page (http://www.ville.quebec.qc.ca/en/exploration/histoire.shtml) for Quebec City, which includes some info on history and archaeology--you could email the site and ask if they can put you in touch with some of the people who contributed.

You could also try contacting Archéo-Québec (http://www.archeoquebec.com/e-0105.html) for recommendations of books or people to speak to.

Another Quebec History page (http://www.lbpsb.qc.ca/%7Ehistory//)--scroll down for email addresses of the people who put it together.

Don't hesitate to contact scholars--they tend to be very approachable, and don't mind taking a few minutes to give you suggestions.

Best of luck with your project.

Thanks Marlys!

I concur with Marlys that you shouldn't be shy about contacting scholars. I was once a teaching assistant for one of Alan Greer's undergraduate courses at the University of Toronto, and I can vouch that he's very approachable. If you asked him for some bibliographical pointers, he'd probably be happy to provide you with the titles of some good books and articles.

Thanks Ariella.
