Canada’s libraries, museums, archives, and government agencies possess numerous rich digital collections containing our nation's documentary heritage. These collections are continually expanding and include many different types of content including books, journals, newspapers, government documents, photographs, maps, post cards, sheet music, audio and video broadcasts.

Canadiana.org (also referred to simply as Canadiana) works together with partners to strengthen our collective ability to present Canada’s documentary heritage content online. The organization acts as a coordinator, facilitator and advocate for digitization initiatives, along with providing access services and preservation infrastructures.
