MHS Archives: Transactions of the Manitoba Historical Society

Jump to:
First Series | Second Series | Third Series

In 1879, one of the first initiatives of the newly formed Manitoba Historical and Scientific Society was support for public lectures on a range of topics. These lectures were later published as the Transactions of the Manitoba Historical and Scientific Society, or Transactions for short. Seventy-two Transactions had been published by 1909, when the Society entered a period of inactivity. These are referred to as the First Series. This was followed by the Second Series (sometimes called the New Series) published between the World Wars, from 1926 to 1936. Finally, the Third Series was published starting in 1944. It was joined in 1956 by the Society's magazine Manitoba Pageant. Both were succeeded in 1980 by the journal Manitoba History.
