We are excited to announce that McGill-Queen’s has been awarded the 2013 Wilson Prize for Publishing Canadian History!
Each year the L.R. Wilson Institute for Canadian History at McMaster University awards a $10,000 prize to a publisher it deems to have excelled at publishing and promoting innovative writing in Canadian History.
The Prize will be presented to MQUP by Dr. H.V. Nelles at McGill University Faculty Club on January 21st, 2014.
In its announcement, the Wilson Institute commends McGill-Queen’s University Press “for the quantity of Canadian History it publishes, but also the quality and variety … covering an astonishing range historical topics, military, social, intellectual, political, gender studies, geography, art, exploration, indigenous studies, religion, and colonial history.” Among its many honours, MQUP is a recent winner of the Sir John A. Macdonald Prize of the Canadian Historical Association for the best book in Canadian History.
The $10,000 prize is awarded on the condition that the funds are used to support the publication of books in the field of Canadian History. MQUP will apply the award to the publication of Law and Life at Red River by Dale Gibson, Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of Manitoba. This major work explores the establishment, development, and legal history of the settlement and pioneer community that served as the Hudson’s Bay Company headquarters.
