I am having some difficulty in deciding how to record place names for events
in Quebec that preceded Canadian Confederation.
Canada, as we now know it, came into existence on July 1, 1867. Starting on
February 10, 1841 until that date, what is now Quebec and Ontario was known
as the Province of Canada within British North America; Quebec was known as
Canada East and Ontario was known as Canada West but these were not official
names. From December 26, 1791 until 1841, Quebec was known as Lower Canada
and Ontario as Upper Canada, each a separate province within British North
America.
So far I have opted to use, for example, Quebec City, Canada East, Province
of Canada, British North America for the latter period and Quebec City,
Lower Canada, British North America for the former period. However, I am not
happy with these - they seem unnecessarily long and cumbersome.
Does anybody have a better idea? I would appreciate your input.
