# Canadian Society for Creative Leathercraft

> The permanent archive of the Canadian Society for Creative Leathercraft
> (CSCL), a Canadian guild of leather crafters founded in Toronto on 8 June
> 1950 and dissolved in 2025. This site is a finished, point-in-time record:
> it is not updated with new activity because the Society no longer exists.

The Society published a quarterly newsletter, *Canadian Leathercraft* (later
*Canadian Leathercrafter*), from 1951 until 2024. It is a registered serial:

## How to read this archive

Every page carries schema.org structured data in a single connected graph.
People and awards have stable @id identifiers, defined once on the two index
pages above and referred to from every page that mentions them. Newsletter
issues are modelled as PublicationIssue within a Periodical carrying the
ISSNs above.

Material dated 2017 or later has had members' personal contact details
redacted. Earlier issues are published as they were printed. Contact details
are never included in the structured data.

Where the Society's records are silent — an award with no recorded winner, an
issue whose masthead is unreadable — this archive says nothing rather than
inferring an answer.
