Note

The Historical Canadians dataset page is under construction. Click here for the application profile.

The Historical Canadians dataset contains Information about people important to Canadian history, as mentioned in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography and enhanced with information from Wikipedia and scholarly sources. The dataset includes individuals who have entries and those mentioned within an entry, and provides related information such as dates and places of birth and death, family relationships, occupations, residences, gender, and ethnicity.

Information from the Dictionary of Canadian Biography was selectively augmented from other resources including Wikidata and scholarly sources to provide fundamental information about individuals and their families, such as marital status, occupation, residence, gender, and ethnicity. Unnamed individuals are included with labels such as “A Free Black mother.” Placenames are geolocated. A small selection of links to digitized Canadian census records and fonds published by Library and Archives Canada are included.
