Library and Archives Canada's website leads to ArchiviaNet through which many of their archival records, particularly official government records, may be searched by descriptive keywords. ArchiviaNet provides access to selected finding aids and textual records from a variety of record groups. Searching ArchiviaNet provides a good starting point for the holdings of Library and Archives Canada but should not be regarded as complete.
