Anti-Slavery Issues in Canada, 1830-1870: - (dead link)
A Selective Bibliography
"The following is a list of materials held by the National Library of Canada and the National Archives of Canada on the anti-slavery movement in Canada between approximately 1830 and 1870. As the historiography relating to slavery is vast, including thousands of monographs and journal articles dealing with aspects of the issue, the present bibliography is restricted to primary material dating from the period when slavery was being debated and criticized in public discourse."
