80 ANS d'Édition Savante À l'Université d'Ottawa - 80 Years of Scholarly Publishing at the University of Ottawa Press [French]

by University of Ottawa Press

The history of the University of Ottawa Press serves as a mirror of the intellectual history of our country. This bilingual, illustrated book, follows the evolution of this scholarly publishing house, from its French-Canadian and Oblate origins to its contemporary mission.

The University of Ottawa Press (UOP) is North America's only fully bilingual university press and oldest French-language university press. Founded in 1936 by philosophy and theology professors, UOP has been enriching the intellectual and cultural life and contributing to the advancement of the social sciences and humanities for 80 years. This highly illustrated book will include an historical timeline, archival photos, manuscript pages and correspondence, biographical information on UOP's key authors, as well as accounts and anecdotes that, as a whole, document the fascinating tale of the UOP's evolution. This book will also include a piece by Michel Bock and Danika Gourgon, who set the history and the contribution of the Press against the backdrop of a broader Canadian intellectual context.
