Canada Gazette – Digitization project

This isn’t exactly news, since this project began in 2007, but it was news to me!  According to a statement on the Gazette website “the Canada Gazette Directorate is working in partnership with LAC to digitize all issues dating from 1841 to 1997, so as to make them accessible to the public.”

The project is slated to be completed at the end of 2009, so not all the issues from this time range are available yet.  When the website was launched in May 2008,  only 30% of the collection had been digitized.  Presumably at this late date, the project is much further along….  In any event, the collection digitized thus far is available for keyword searching at: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/canada-gazette/index-e.html

Issues from 1997 to present are available on the Canada Gazette website at: http://www.gazette.gc.ca/index-eng.html
