This project was first proposed by the Canadian Museum of Nature
in the fall of 1993. The result, produced in both English and French
(sold as separate discs), is an opportunity to explore a fascinating
part of Canada—an area unique in its beauty, environment, and
history.
Both versions will be available in spring 1998. For a purchase
price of CAN$59.00, you can obtain it from CD-ROM retailers or you
can order it directly from most of the contributors.
