Based at McGill University in Montreal, and drawing on the faculty and resources of all four universities in the city (McGill, the Université de Montréal, Concordia University, and the Université du Québec à Montréal), the French Atlantic History Group acts as a forum for new research in the history of the Francophone Atlantic world in the early modern period (1500-1830).

The “Making Publics” project illuminates the artistic, intellectual, religious, social, and political culture of Britain and Western Europe between 1500 and 1700, and it will also have a bearing on issues that confront modern society, especially questions about media, the culture market, and the possibilities of social agency on the part of cultural producers and consumers.
