FAQ
Question: How did the project begin?
The impetus for this program was a push by librarians to place the Canadian Journal of Native Studies online, and a subsequent agreement between the editor at the time, and the library, to undertake the digitization of the journal. Funding from two agencies, Manitoba Education and Training’s Career Start program and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, enabled us to hire students to convert files for the first phase of the project, and contract out the scanning of journals in the second phase of the project.
Phase three of the project – which involved the digitization and mounting of volumes 17-25 – was completed in March of 2008. The digitization was completed by the Indigenous Studies Portal at the University of Saskatchewan Libraries in partnership with the Canadian Journal of Native Studies at Brandon University. We would like to thank them for their assistance in this phase of the project.
Question: Are there plans to continue making the full edition of each issue available?
Yes there are. We have agreed to publish continuing back issues, two years after the last edition of a volume is published.
Question: Is there a definite deadline for submissions?
Answer: No. All submissions are reviewed as received, then published in one of the bi-annual publications upon the approval of the Editorial and Peer Review Staff.
