Although this website feels pitched at academia, it’s a fascinating resource that’s similar in scope to British History Online. It provides access to millions of pages of digitised content relating to Canada’s past, drawn from magazines, periodicals and books, plus some primary sources. Clicking ‘Early Canadiana Online’ leads to collections that include Canadian periodicals, plus ‘Genealogy and Local History’ and the ‘Hudson’s Bay Company’. Click on a title and a digitised book appears below. Meanwhile, the ten-year ‘Héritage’ project leads you to approximately 40 million digitised pages of primary-source documents.
