Books
Here are some of the books and lectures I’m using as sources. I’m early in my research so this list will grow, and I’d welcome suggestions.
You can also check out the books I still have on my Goodreads “to read” list, which these days are mostly, though not exclusively, related to Canadian history.

I’ve been supplementing my reading by also listening to lectures from The Great Courses series, because they are good, and also because it’s hard to read a book while walking your dog.
