Major Research Centres to Find Manitoba Ancestors
Archives and Libraries
Library and Archives Canada (LAC)
LAC was created 02 October 2002 to combine the National Archives of Canada and the National Library of Canada in one agency. The records found in both Centres are still found in separate sections on the Internet. Of particular value are the “Online Help” sections that provide background material to particular groups of records and how to use the online records effectively. New records are being added to the database on a continuing basis so it is important to keep checking the site. Throughout this course you will find pointers for how to use particular sections of this website. Note: Some publications will carry the old name of Public Archives of Canada.
