Handbook to

History Grad

Programmes due

in May

The Handbook to Graduate Studies in

History in Canada is due off the press in

May. The handbook, which is being published by the Graduate Students’ Committee of the CHA, will be approxi- mately 100 pages when it is completely typeset, say the editors. It is based on questionnaires sent out in December and January to ail history departments in Canada that hâve graduate

programmes. Approximately 85% of departments hâve responded to date. The handbook will list the graduate teaching faculty in the department, courses and fields offered, application procedures, programme requirements, size of the programme, as well as information on tuition, scholarships, teaching assistantships etc...which are available and the numbers which hâve been awarded in the past two years. The departments’ fields of spécialization and the titles of recently completed thesis and disser-tations will be included as indications of the focus of each department.

The Handbook will make it much easier for prospective graduate students to find the faculty and the programmes that best suit their interests, according to Colin Coates, project coordinator. It will also include a list of scholarships for which they are eligible. Coates suggests that it may also be useful to departments because it allows a tally of the total graduate population and will allow them to compare their

programmes with those of other univers ities.

In order to ensure maximum distribution, copies will be sent free of charge to graduate advisors in history depart­ ments, university libraries, and to student members of the CHA.

The Graduate Students’ Committee of the CHA has been working on the handbook since their Committee first met at the CHA meeting at Laval last June. They are looking forward to a handbook launching party at the CHA meeting in Victoria in May.
