The Nova Scotia Planters in the Atlantic World, 1759-1830
SpotlightRead MoreThe early Maritime Provinces were at the centre of a struggle for supremacy in the Atlantic World – “ground zero in the battle of North America,” writes Jerry Banister of Dalhousie University. This is the latest in our classic series of Planter Studies on the social, economic, and cultural history of the region, reflecting the influence of the new “Atlantic World” scholarship while exploring the community structures, economies, loyalties, and religions of Planter Nova Scotia.

Calendar of Life in a Narrow Valley: Jacobina Campbell's Diary, Taymouth, NB 1825-1843
SpotlightRead MoreOver the course of two decades, the ever-observant Jacobina Campbell coordinated the activities of a busy household and reported on the daily lives of family and neighbours. This remarkable woman’s diary introduces an early 19th-century community on the Nashwaak River where life and work were shaped by the seasonal rhythms of the farming-lumbering economy that came to characterize much of rural New Brunswick.
Acadiensis Press was established in 1980 by the journal Acadiensis in order to publish anthologies and documents that contribute to exploring, teaching and developing Atlantic regional studies for both academic and general readers. Notable recent titles include anthologies on environmental history and women’s history and a memoir by E.R. “Ernie” Forbes, one of the most influential historians associated with Acadiensis.
