Robert Sweeny (Editor)
A socio-economic historian, Robert C. H. Sweeny has published extensively on the history of both Quebec and Newfoundland, the two places where he has lived with Elizabeth-Anne Malischewski. His Why Did We Choose to Industrialize? won the 2016 Governor General’s History Award for Scholarly Research (The Sir John A. Macdonald Prize). Back in 2000, he accepted Sherry Olson’s invitation to collaborate on a three-year project to build an historical GIS, Montréal, l’avenir du passé. They are still working on it and hope soon to finish.
