Scope Note
This resource list was created to mark the centenary of the First World War, to recognize the
contributions of Canadian physicians and surgeons to the war effort , and as an aid to researchers
interested in the relationships between medicine , surgery and war. The list is mainly limited to items
by or about the experiences of Canadian physicians and surgeons in the Great War, the diseases and
injuries they encountered, and the effects of war on Canadian medicine and surgery. The resources
listed range from those published at the time of the Great War until the present.
The resources are categorized into different formats: journal articles, books, online resources
(websites, blogs, other web-based social media), and organizations and scholars. Wherever possible,
links to freely available sources are included.
The books listed include in- and out-of-print books with links to WorldCat, where library holdings can
easily be checked. The booklist is selective; in particular many more biographies have been written
about Canadian physicians and surgeons who went to war.
Journal articles are a significant resource, and are particularly valuable since many journals have been
digitized and are easily and fully searchable. The majority of articles listed are from The Canadian
Medical Association Journal, and were written in wartime. They are available in full text at PubMed
Central, the US National Library of Medicine journal archive, and links are provided.
The online resources listed are primarily specific to medicine and surgery, but include selected more
general websites about war and Canadian society. A few items apply to other countries as well as
Canada.
The list is selective rather than comprehensive, but efforts have been made to collect as many important
resources as possible, in a variety of formats. Although time did not permit any subject analysis, we
hope this list will provide a useful starting point for all those interested in the Great War. For additional
information, please contact the list creators.
