Canadian Archival Information Network

The Canadian Archival Information Network (CAIN) is a digital platform that connects and provides access to descriptions of archival collections across Canada. It helps users find and explore historical records, documents, and fonds held by various institutions, such as archives, libraries, and museums. CAIN enhances visibility and discoverability of Canada's archival heritage by offering a centralized, searchable database. This makes it easier for researchers, students, and the public to locate important historical information without needing to contact each institution directly. Overall, CAIN streamlines access to Canada's rich archival resources.
