FOREWORD
This compilation is the third supplement to Canadian Studies on Hungarians, 1886-1986, published by the Canadian Plains Research Center, University of Regina (1987). The first supplement was published in Ottawa by the Microform Biblios (1992), the second by the International Hungarian Philological Society in Budapest (1995). In keeping with the previous bibliographies, Supplement 3 contains reference works, books and other monographs, research papers, university theses and review articles. It also includes lists of archival materials as well as periodicals and newspapers published in Canada since the beginning of this century. The items were culled from the national libraries and archives of Canada and Hungary, and information was gathered via personal communication with individual authors, scholars and community leaders. Publications in the physical and health sciences and in technology, with the exception of those listed in the "Biography" section, were not included.
This bibliography is divided into three major parts. Part I is devoted to Canadian publications on Hungary and Magyars in that country as well as elsewhere in the Hungarian diaspora. Part II contains entries pertaining to Hungarian Canadians, while Pari III features short biographies of Hungarian-Canadian scholars, artists, community leaders and other public figures. The material is arranged by subject, under such headings as Reference and general works; History, government and politics; Economy, commerce and trade; Foreign relations; Public safety and social conditions; Minorities; Language; Literature; Religion; Immigration; Education; Memoirs; and Art, music and culture. The citations provide conventional bibliographic data such as author(s), title (in the vernacular if a foreign language, with English translation), publisher, date, pagination, and brief annotation. The volume is completed by a detailed index.
