The Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) has announced Library and Archives Canada (LAC) as its 77th institutional member. As the national custodian of Canada’s documentary heritage, LAC has been contributing as an institutional member of Canadiana.org, which merged with CRKN in April 2018, since its inception.
Earlier in 2019, LAC, along with CRKN members, contributed to making the Canadiana collections available at no charge to users.
As part of CRKN's merger with Canadiana.org, CRKN’s by-laws were updated to include optional institutional membership for Library and Archives Canada, as well as the Toronto Public Library and Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec.
Prior to the merger with Canadiana, CRKN collaborated directly with LAC to provide funding for the Héritage project, in which Canadiana and LAC worked jointly to digitise the microfilms of LAC’s most highly used archival collections. Representatives of LAC sit on CRKN’s Preservation and Access Committee and on both of its associated task groups, the Heritage Content Priorities Task Group and the Platform Technical Task Group.
