The Awards Committee of the Bibliographical Society of Canada (BSC) is pleased to announce that the 2025 Marie Tremaine Medal for excellence in bibliography has been awarded to Dr. I. S. MacLaren.

Dr. MacLaren spent his career at the University of Alberta investigating how the writings that explorers and travellers kept while prosecuting their routes evolved into print-published books. Furthermore, his contributions possess a vitally Canadian dimension. Nearly thirty of his scholarly articles and two books – The Ladies, the Gwich’in, and the Rat (1998) and Paul Kane’s Travels in Indigenous North America: Writings and Art, Life and Times (2024) – concentrate on the evolution of explorers or travellers into authors, and the evolution of their writings from logbooks, field notes, or letters into books. His most recent work, Paul Kane’s Travels in North America, itself constitutes a signal achievement in Canadian scholarly publishing.
