Au Naturel, The History of Nudism in Canada

James Woycke, Ph.D.

ISBN 0-9682332-3-6

Dr. James Woycke spent more than a decade researching the history of Canadian nudism from Newfoundland to Vancouver island and in the USA.

Dr. Woycke, a history professor at the University of Western Ontario, reviewed nearly a century of magazines, records, and correspondence of nudist clubs and organizations.

In addition to those thousands of documents, he interviewed dozens of naturists from Canadian and Canadian-American clubs.

The result is a fascinating look, going back to the early 20th century, into the often controversial development of nudism as it challenged Canadian legal and social norms.
