The writing of Canadian social welfare history is examined in three stages. Until circa 1970, the literature tends to portray sympathetically social welfare's underlying motives. The next stage, or a "new social history" (ca. 1970-81), is more critical, with a particular frame of reference on socioeconomic class relations. A more diverse third stage (post-ca. 1980) expands the number and variety of topics beyond firstand second-stage writing and challenges many previous assumptions, especially regarding power and human agency. Future avenues of research also are considered, particularly the need to emphasize diversity, and a Canadian identity, more explicitly as historical phenomena
