Library and Archives Canada has been in spring cleaning mode! We have dusted off some web content and moved it to better locations.
Recently added to Collection Search
We are continually adding functionalities and datasets to
Collection Search. Our goal is to offer an easy and efficient method to search our collection items from a single starting point. Collection Search will ultimately hold the complete content of more than 100 databases that can currently be searched individually on our website.
The following databases will remain available in their original locations, but they will be removed from the web eventually. Their full content can now be found in Collection Search.
- Citizenship Registration, Montreal Circuit Court (1851–1945)
- Indian Reserves – Western Canada
- Immigrants before 1865
- Immigrants from the Russian Empire (1898–1922)
- Treaties, Surrenders and Agreements
- Ship Registrations
The following online exhibitions are no longer available. However, the fully digitized content can be found in Collection Search.

A Nation's Chronicle: The Canada Gazette (1841–1997).
