This set includes all four volumes of Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada Before Confederation [pre 1867] provided in faithful digital reproduction of the actual book pages (in searchable .pdf format).

Donald Whyte's four volumes are a major contribution to the documentation of Canadian immigration before 1867. The labour of many years, the series is an indispensable tool for historians, biographers, genealogists and everyone in search of their Scottish ancestry. Much of the material is unique. The author consulted numerous sources, printed and manuscript, and by extensive corespondence gathered much information that would not otherwise have been saved for posterity. It is impossible not to be grateful for this enormous labour of love.
