Today, I am going through all of our authors to discover who has or has not been added to Wikipedia… Yes: all 800 authors. It’s rather time consuming, especially when I go down the inevitable rabbit holes the internet provides, like discovering a beautiful photograph of Joyce Marshall on an island in an Ontario marsh, or coming across a twist in the convoluted biography of Marian Osborne that needed to be untangled, or landing upon this blog post from 2017 about the children of Stanley Bagg of Montreal, lamenting that the Dictionary of Canadian Biography has left out his four daughters, two of whom (Katharine and Helen) are authors in our project…
The post is written by Janice Hamilton, Stanley Bagg’s great-great-granddaughter, who assisted us in our initial creation of our entries; we are really grateful to her, here, for filling in more details of these authors lives.
