The ''Canadian Historical Review'' (''CHR'') is a scholarly journal in Canada, founded in 1920 and published by the University of Toronto Press."Canadian Historical Review"
''The Canadian Encyclopedia'' The ''CHR'' publishes articles about the ideas, people, and events important to Canadian history, as well as book reviews and detailed bibliographies of recent Canadian historical publications. The ''CHR'' covers all topics of Canadian history, ranging from Indigenous issues to liberalism to the First World War. The ''CHR'' has two major objectives: "to promote high standards of research and writing in Canada … and to foster the study of Canadian history."''The contested past'' lectronic resource reading Canada's history: selections from the Canadian historical review / edited by Marlene Shore

''Canadian Historical Review'' publishes articles in both of Canada's official languages, French and English. The Journal publishes both online and print versions, and subscribers can search for and read thousands of past publications via either ''CHR'' Online or Project MUSE.

History

The ''Canadian Historical Review'' was founded at the University of Toronto in 1920 as a continuation of a previous journal, the ''Review of Historical Publications Relating to Canada'', itself founded by George Wrong, in 1897. The initiative to digitize the ''CHR''s holdings includes material from this previous journal, and papers from as early as 1897 are available to subscribers online as a result.

The ''Canadian Historical Review''s entries have changed as history and historiography itself have progressed. Marlene Shore's ''The Contested Past: Reading Canada's History – Selections from the Canadian Historical Review'', tracks these changes, tracing major themes of the ''CHR'' chronologically: "Nation and Diversity, 1920-1939; War, Centralization; and Reaction, 1940-1965; The Renewal of Diversity, 1966 to present; and Reflections." ''The Contested Past'' also suggests that the key themes in Canadian history reflected by the ''CHR'' are "Native-European contact, society and war, the nature of Canadian and Quebec nationalism, class-consciousness, and gender politics."

Editors

The ''CHR''s editors are Matthew Hayday and Jeffrey McNairn. Hayday, a professor at the University of Guelph since 2007, focuses on Canadian political history, particularly issues related to language policy, education, social movements, nationalism and identity politics. McNairn teaches nineteenth-century Canadian history at Queen's University, with special interest in the history of print, liberalism, British imperialism and state-civil society relations.University of Toronto Press Online

''Canadian Historical Review'' Prize

Each year ''CHR'' awards a prize for best article of the year, known as the ''Canadian Historical Review Prize''. The winner for 2017 was Jan Noel, who won for her article "A Man of Letters and Gender Troubles of 1837", which appeared in the September 2017 issue.
