HISTORY OF CANADIAN WHO’S WHO he Times Publishing Company of London, England fi rst published Canadian Who’s Who in 1910. After acquiring copyright from The Times in 1932, A.L. Tunnell published a second edition in 1936, Twhich incorporated two editions of Canadian Men and Women of the Time, a parallel reference work. From the 1936 edition to the 1975 edition, A.L. Tunnell continued to publish Canadian Who’s Who. A.L. Tunnell usually issued Canadian Who’s Who triennially, with the exception of the years during World War II, although fi ve supplementary booklets (the Who’s Who Biographical Service) were published at intervals between editions of the main volume. After University of Toronto Press acquired publication rights in 1978, it issued Canadian Who’s Who annually. While Canadian Who’s Who 1979 was cumulative for the years 1976–79, the 1980 edition was the fi rst to cover a one-year period. In 1985 University of Toronto Press published a companion work, Canadian Who’s Who Index 1898– 1984, compiled by Evelyn McMann, which was an index of the entire backlist of Canadian Who’s Who volumes to that date. Incorporated within this index were the 1898 and 1912 editions of Canadian Men and Women of the Time, edited by Henry J. Morgan. In addition, University of Toronto Press published a microfi che set of backlist volumes under the title Canadian Who’s Who in Microfi che 1898–1975, and Canadian Who’s Who in Microfi che 1979–1988. It also published a CD-ROM version of Canadian Who’s Who from 1997 to 2010. Third Sector Publishing purchased Canadian Who’s Who from University of Toronto Press in March 2011, publishing the 2011, 2012–2013, and 2014–2015 editions, as well as creating the Canadian Who’s Who Online research platform. Starting in 2012, Grey House Publishing Canada held an agreement with Third Sector to provide online access to biographies via Canada’s Information Resource Centre (CIRC). In March 2016, Grey House fully acquired Canadian Who’s Who, both print and online versions. We are very proud to publish the traditional red volume and its accompanying web resources. Accessible via Canadian Who’s Who Online and CIRC, the online content provides access to 24,000 biographies–those currently in the print edition and those that have been archived since 1999. This year we established an Editorial Board consisting of prominent individuals across numerous fi elds of endeavour, who have begun to reshape our criteria for inclusion in Canadian Who’s Who. This board will continue to grow over the coming year, and we couldn’t be more excited by the opportunities this presents. Other new initiatives are being planned for coming editions, which we hope will not only honour the legacy of this esteemed publication, but propel it to exciting new levels of public awareness.
