The Internet Archive and Library and Archives Canada have announced a partnership to bring online 100,000+ out-of-copyright publications. Below is part of the announcement from Internet Archive Canada. Note there is no date for completion.
As part of this project, six digitization workstations, known as Scribes, have been installed at LAC’s Collections Storage facility in Gatineau. This digitization centre (staffed by six operators) will play a pivotal role in digitizing a vast collection of up to 100,000 out-of-copyright publications from the 1200s to 1920. The materials will be made freely accessible online to researchers, historians, scholars, individuals with print disabilities, and the general public, in line with IAC’s and LAC’s commitment to expanding digital collections of Canadian content.
