MacEachern, Alan. "Biography of M.B. Williams" November 2009.
Alan MacEachern is an Associate Professor of History at the University of Western Ontario as well as the Director of the Network in Canadian History & Environment (NiCHE)
This is a biography of Mabel -- MB -- Williams, who as a civil servant and author of guidebooks for Parks Canada, was instrumental in shaping and promoting ideas about national parks early in the century. A special thanks to Williams' niece, Frances Girling, for sharing with me her aunt's papers, which are now at Library and Archives Canada.
