About Us...

For many years (since 1971) I've wanted to tell people about the history books that have been produced and are being worked on currently. But until the Internet came into being, this was almost impossible. As I travel around British Columbia and part of Alberta I have been asked many times, "Where can I get this or that book, or is so and so doing a book?"

I started to think, (about time) ... How could we promote history books to other parts of Canada and the world? This is when "yourhistory.ca" came into being. A site to search for books in print, register your communities' book, and help the history book groups to sell their books further abroad than just their town.

I've helped groups do research, and have encouraged them to write down the stories of the hard times they faced when they came to this country as pioneers from many different countries of the world. Encouraged them to tell humorous things that happened -- stories of how life was, living conditions, how they made a living, what were their houses like, what was the dress of the day, what equipment did they have to plow the fields, etc. Write stories that people will find interesting to read -- not just a list of dates, times, places, births and deaths -- and of course include lots of general interest photos -- remember a photo is worth a thousand words.

Enjoy browsing "yourhistory.ca" . Order a great book from the listed selection. If you have a book that you would like to list on the site, just click on " Feedback" and download the information form.
