Canadian archival institutions

Canadian archival institutions are organizations that preserve and provide access to historical records and documents critical to understanding the country's history, government, and culture. These institutions include national, provincial, and municipal archives, as well as specialized repositories for specific fields. They ensure that original documents, photographs, recordings, and other materials are maintained securely for future research, education, and public interest. By organizing and safeguarding these records, archival institutions help Canadians and researchers access authentic historical evidence, supporting transparency and the preservation of Canada's diverse heritage.
