The Canadian Association of Teachers of Technical Writing: Its Early History

The story of the genesis and early days of CA TTW is a very import ant chapter in the history of technical writing teaching and scholarship in Canada. As the tenth anniversary of our meetings at the Learneds approached, Joan Pavelich and Mike Jordan were asked to describe the part they played in the activities leading up to our first meeting in Guelph in 1984 and to comment on the key subsequent events in our history.
