History
Richard Jarrell launched the typewritten—and Gestetner-reproduced—History of Science and Technology in Canada (HSTC) Bulletin in December 1976. A call for collaboration and organization, the Bulletin was the foundation for the founding of CSTHA in 1980 and the launch of Scientia Canadensis in 1984.
Since that time, Scientia Canadensis has published more than 50 numbers, containing contributions in English and French from leading and emerging scholars in the Canadian history of science and technology. The journal has published special issues on such topics as energy and society, consumer technologies, circumpolar science, and natural history.
In addition to peer-reviewed scholarship, Scientia Canadensis also publishes research notes, book reviews, bibliographies, and other contributions in English and French.
