National Archives of Canada

http://www.archives.ca/

The web site of the National Archives of Canada holds both general and detailed information on their holdings. The collections include Government records, private collections, documentary art, photographs, stamps, maps and architectural holdings. Details of location, opening hours and how to plan a trip to the archive are provided on the site. All information on the site is in both English and French. It is possible to obtain more detailed holdings information from the web site using their online database ArchiviaNet. ArchiviaNet is a collection of searchable databases covering Government records, soldiers of the First World War, the index of the 1871 census, post offices, home children, dominion landgrants, immigration records (1925-1935), colonial archives, films, videos, sound recordings, photographs, works of art and caricatures. ArchiviaNet does not hold details of all the holdings of the National Archives, but does contain several million records. Online help is available to aid searching. Other features of the web site include online exhibitions and publications, and a news and events section.
