Research has lead MacKay L. Smith to writing four
non-fiction books.

First concentrating on Montreal’s urban communities, he wrote, Jews of Montreal and their Judaisms, a Voyage of Discovery. This book has sold 2000 copies in Montreal.

His ambitious pilgrimages brought him to Israel, in 1999, where he visited the places where Jesus traveled to, and then MacKay became a tourist and a commentator on the area. He also went to Petra, in Jordan. The book,
A Christian in Israel, is the result.

While slashing away at golf he took his experience and other historical happenings and brought out a private printing of a book on golf.

Now his research has returned to Montreal. His next book, published in 2006, is titled, Montreal’s Sherbrooke Street: The Spine of the City. Over a period of three years, he interviewed 77 personalities who lived or worked on the street, and walked parts of
the 32 kilometers of the Street innumerable times taking photographs of, and notes on, the interesting buildings and events. The book contained 71 black & white photographs
of the McCord Museum's Nottman collection, 181 colour photographs of the author's
and 31,000 words of text to go with an extensive bibliography and index. This books
is now out of print, having sold 3000 copies of the English edition
and 1000 copies in French.

His present project is titled Memories and Profiles of McGill University, situated in the downtown campus, 1789-2009. It will show many ancient and current photographs
of McGill buildings as the University rapidly acquired them. It is the result of two years
of research and in-depth interview with alumni and personalities that revolve around
the university.

His three adult offspring constantly challenge him to look at the adventurous side of
the world. He is a long distance walker, The Way of St. James and The Pennine Way
for example, and he tries to play golf.
