SIDELIGHTS: Dan Azoulay told CA: "I am motivated to make Canadian history more accessible to the average person, and I want to contribute to the body of knowledge in my field. I really enjoy wading through historical documents and then piecing bits of evidence together to recreate an era long past. It's a bit like traveling in time and being an investigator all at once. I am influenced by popular historians and journalists who seem to bring history to life better than professional historians do."
