TransCanadiana (2008-2018) was the first Polish peer-reviewed journal on interdisciplinary Canada-oriented research edited by the Polish Association for Canadian Studies. Its primary goal was to create the space for intellectual and cultural exchange and to further the development of Canadian Studies in Poland.

The first five issues of the journal were published in a paper format with ISSN 1899-0355. Starting with TransCanadiana 6 (2013), the journal was published in an electronic format with ISSN 2392-2990. 

Despite its folding, TransCanadiana remains a rich resource for Canadianists worldwide, which is why we have decided to create the TransCanadiana Archives, providing open-access to all issues of the journal. The early issues will be added in the future.
