The Society of Architectural Historians is meeting in Montréal, Canada from April 12-16, 2023. Inspired by the conference’s Canadian setting and SAH2023’s walking tours/events, the editors of the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians have combed through the journal’s archives to put together a “virtual tour” of Canadian architectural highlights. We invite you to learn more about Canada’s rich architectural history via the articles and book/media reviews below. We are making this content free to read for a limited period of time.
