The objective of the Canadian Council of Archives is to provide the
Canadian public greater access to the documentary heritage held by
archives in this country. Our means of doing this is by improving the
administration, proficiency, capacity, and efficiency of archives
through initiating and supporting national priorities, policies, and
programmes for the development and operation of a Canadian archival
system.
On October 20, 2001, the Canadian Council of Archives launched the
Canadian Archival Information Network, an electronic initiative
designed to provide online access to holdings in over 800 archival
institutions across the country. Known initially as CAIN, the network
has now become Archives Canada.
The initiative was established and continues to grow with the support
of the Canadian Council of Archives, the Library and Archives of
Canada and the Department of Canadian Heritage through the Canadian
Culture Online Program. "We need more information about our history,
our culture and our heritage," said Minister of Canadian Heritage,
Sheila Copps, in launching the initiative back in 2001. "Partnerships
like the Canadian Archival Information Network web site make a
valuable
contribution to the creation of Canadian reference resources and play
an important role in fostering shared values. They are deepening our
understanding of our country, its institutions and its people."
Through the Archives Canada national database, hundreds of individual
archival institutions across the country (each with holdings such as
documentary records, maps, photographs, sound recordings, videos and
more) regularly produce descriptions of these holdings, and make
those descriptions accessible to the Archives Canada portal via their
provincial/territorial network. The Archives Canada portal also
provides links to virtual exhibits and photo databases residing on
the web sites of individual archives or Provincial/Territorial
Councils. In turn, Archives Canada provides searchable access to
these entries with links to participating institutions. Archives
Canada is an ongoing project that benefits Canadians of all ages from
coast to coast, by making the contents of archives increasingly
accessible to everyone, thus enabling us to explore the richness of
our Canadian past.

Comparable to NARA in the United States although you can't
order records. If you are researching in Canada this is the place
to go.
