In 1964 the need for a comprehensive source of names of pioneers and early citizens of Manitoba was first discussed. The task of compiling such a work was undertaken as a project of the Manitoba Library Association, and a committee was formed to select names and prepare biographical sketches.
It was decided that the period of time to be covered would end at 1919 and that the selection of names would be made from the following categories: politics, the professions, business and finance, the armed services, the arts, pioneers, and any others who had made a significantcontribution to the life of the province. The committee is concerned that there may be regrettable omissions but hopes that this volume includes most of those who shared in some measure in the early development of Manitoba.
The committee acknowledges the contributions of many people in the preparation of these biographical outlines but is especially indebted to Mr. Hartwell Bowsfield, former Archivist; to Mr. John Bovey, Archivist; and to Mr. Barry Hyman, Assistant Archivist of the Province of Manitoba.
In the publication of this volume the Manitoba Library Association has been aided by a grant from the Government of the Province of Manitoba.
