"The Canadian Encyclopedia plays an essential role in providing Canadians and others with accurate, updated information about our people and country. The first edition, led by Publisher Mel Hurtig and Editor-in-Chief James Marsh, was accurately described by Hurtig as “the biggest publishing project in Canadian history.” It carried close to three million words in three separate volumes, featured more than 2,500 contributors and included more than 9,000 articles. It was an immediate, impressive success. A second edition in 1988 included 500,000 new words; two years later, a five-volume Junior Encyclopedia was published.
Today, the number of articles in the Encyclopedia – more than 19,000 bilingual – is roughly four times the original total and growing (about 60 articles are revised or created every month)".
