specialists in early history of Quebec City (1600s)

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

Home - but for how long?
Kentuk...

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 in Quebec History. Why not email the instructor for recommendations?

There's also an official page 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 Arch[FONT=&quot]éo-Qu[FONT=&quot]ébec[/FONT][/FONT] for recommendations of books or people to speak to.

Another Quebec History page--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.

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.
