The Canadian Identities Database (CID)  An Interdisciplinary Reference Database of Canadian Research on Identity © Joanna Anneke Rummens 2000 Description:  The Canadian Identities Database (CID) is an interdisciplinary electronic reference database of Canadian research on identity developed to facilitate access to this highly specialized research literature.  It is based on thorough literature searches of the English-language Canadian research literature on identity and focuses on the major socio-cultural identities deemed relevant in the Canadian context, including aboriginal, ethnic, national, linguistic, regional, racialized and religious identifications. Database Contents: The CID contains over 3000 retrieved or specially prepared reference citations and abstracts for journal articles, books, reports, theses, videos, governmental documents, web-site materials, unpublished manuscripts, recent graduate work and research project reports from a wide array of disciplines and fields of study;  the latter include anthropology, education, geography, history, literature, psychology, sociology, political science, as well as ethnic, native and women studies. These carefully selected research references were retrieved via extensive on-line literature searches and include both published and unpublished ‘grey’ materials. Additional detailed analytic coding specifically developed for the CID provides maximum search flexibility and retrieval of research references dealing with even the most specialized identity topics.  Current Content Status:  The CID contains complete reference materials with analytic coding from searches of all sources up to 2003;  it contains additional records from subsequent literature searches for journal articles (only) completed up to and including November 2009   CID Reference Citation:  Rummens, Joanna Anneke (2009).  The Canadian Identities Database. www.annekerummens.ca.                                            Thank you for visiting!
