National Archive of Canada

The National Archives of Canada, now part of Library and Archives Canada, is the official repository for the country’s historical documents, records, and information. It preserves government records and cultural heritage materials, such as photographs, maps, and manuscripts, to ensure they are accessible for research, public knowledge, and national identity. The archives help protect Canada’s history by maintaining and organizing these materials, allowing citizens, scholars, and government officials to access important information about the country's past and its development over time.
