In Search of Your Canadian Past: The Canadian County Atlas Project, McGill Library Digital Collection
The Digital Collections Program (DCP) has been created to digitally capture and provide electronic access to McGill University's unique rare and special collections via the World Wide Web using advanced digital technologies. These collections include rare books, maps, manuscripts, prints, photographs, sound recordings, and more.
DCP has a system wide mandate to assist McGill libraries' many subject specialists and curators in the production of digital content based on their unique holdings. To date, DCP has worked with collections housed in the Blackader-Lauterman Library of Art and Architecture, the John Bland Canadian Architecture Collection, the Marvin Duchow Music Library, the Osler Library for the History of Medicine, the Rare Books and Special Collections Division and the Schulich Library of Science and Engineering.
DCP has been active in several system-wide initiatives including the eExam project which was launched in 2002. Through the eExam initiative, McGill undergraduates are able to access electronically past exams in PDF format. Current initiatives include DCP's participation in the Faculty of Graduate Studies pilot eTheses project which was launched in the spring of 2005.
Since 1997, DCP has completed over forty major projects, and we continue to produce and plan new projects. For a complete list of completed digital collections and updates on works-in-progress, please visit the Projects / Digital Collections page.
