The National Library of Canada, now part of Library and Archives Canada, is Canada's primary institution for preserving and providing access to the country's documentary heritage. It collects, conserves, and makes available books, government documents, photographs, maps, and digital resources to support research, education, and cultural understanding. Located in Ottawa, it serves as a national repository that safeguards Canada's history and knowledge, ensuring that future generations can access and study its rich collective information and cultural artifacts.
