Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions

The Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions (CIHM) is an organization dedicated to preserving historical Canadian documents by creating high-quality microreproductions, such as microfilm and microfiche. This process allows rare texts, books, and newspapers to be preserved digitally and accessed more widely, helping researchers, libraries, and the public study Canada's history without risking the original materials. CIHM’s work ensures that important cultural and historical records remain available for future generations, supporting scholarship and cultural preservation in Canada.
