From Foreword: The Dictionary of Newfoundland and Labrador Biography is an attempt to provide some basic reference information on approximately 1,500 individuals who have influenced the development of Newfoundland and Labrador as colony, country and province…, since the European rediscovery of North America in 1497. Anyone who has done any writing -- whether historical or contemporary -- about Newfoundland and Labrador is well aware of the void that exists in Newfoundland and Labrador biography and of the time-consuming task of finding reliable information concerning basic biographical details. The publication of the Dictionary is a modest attempt to fill that void. Canadian History, Canada, Americana.
