Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Encyclopedia of Music in Canada : In 1970, to overcome a shortage of information concerning music in Canada, retired publisher Floyd S. Chalmers and Keith MacMillan set up a committee to review the possibilities of producing an encyclopedia. By 1971, senior editors Helmut Kallmann, Gilles Potvin and Kenneth Winters were hired, and in 1972, the Board of Directors obtained its charter. The first English-language edition of the Encyclopedia of Music in Canada (EMC) was published in 1981, and its French-language counterpart appeared in 1983. Subsequent to a market study by the encyclopedia's board of directors, a second edition proved to be necessary, and was published in English in 1992 and in French in 1993. Following discussions and studies concerning the electronic publication of the EMC, a version of the second edition was launched on an Internet website during 2000-2001 in collaboration with the National Library of Canada. With the donation of the EMC manuscript to the Historica Foundation of Canada in 2003, that organisation assumed responsibility for the publication and updating of the encyclopedia. Following this transition, the EMC as an organisation ceased activity and was formally dissolved in 2006.
