"New" Library and Archives Canada



This week Maureen gave us an update on the changes being made to the Library and Archives Canada website. Staff began planning during 2020/2021 and hope to have completed the renovation by 2030. New goals include findability, navigation, themes and plain language. 

One feature that Maureen was excited to report about was the new census search where you can search 17 censuses at the same time. We learned that this Beta research tool is still a work in progress, but they are making continuous improvements. Keep checking back!

The 1931 Canadian census will be released June 1, 2023. We hope to hear from Maureen next season about the information it contains and how to conduct a useful search.

Thanks again, Maureen, for this useful information!
