Library and Archives Canada: New Digitized Content Available via the Microform Digitization Application
New Online:
- Commonwealth War Graves Registers, First World War ||| Help
- Circumstances of Death Registers, First World War ||| Help
From the LAC Web Site:
Numerous documents belonging to the Library and Archives Canada collection have been copied to microfiche and microfilm. Some items from this collection are being digitized for access over the Internet. These digitized microforms are available on the Browse by Title page. Please note that this is not a database, therefore the images are not searchable by keyword.
Once you have selected the specific microform series you wish to access, you will be presented with links to the digitized images for that set of records. This online access to microforms attempts to duplicate the experience of going to a reading room. Use these links as you would an actual reel or fiche of microform. Each digitized reel or fiche is presented in sequence from beginning to end.
