To carry out our new mandate to sample the Canadian Internet domain for preservation purposes, Library and Archives Canada has acquired web sites related to the Federal Election held on January 23rd, 2006. In many cases, sites have been captured multiple times in order to show the evolution of the political debate throughout the election campaign. It is possible that some functionality within each archived site may not work correctly.
Some of our web site harvesting is still in progress and we will be adding new sites to this special collection as they are downloaded and as we negotiate access permission from the web site owners.
Here is a selection of the Election 2006 web sites which we have acquired for our Digital Collection :
