Welcome to Canada's Digital Collections

Canada's Digital Collections is one of the largest sources of Canadian content on the Internet. More than 600 collections are available, celebrating Canada's history, geography, science, technology and culture.

These fascinating Web sites range from treasures of federal institutions, such as the National Library of Canada, the National Archives of Canada and the Canadian Museum of Civilization, to the local histories and way of life of Canadian communities. The subjects covered range from science and discovery to literature, history and heritage. Many of the collections include learning materials and interactive games.

All digital collections were created by Canadian youth, as part of the Government of Canada's Youth Employment Strategy. From 1996 to 2003, Canada's Digital Collections employed thousands of young people to create digital collections. The program is no longer seeking proposals.
