Historic Maps from the National Archives of Canada/ArchivaNet

Since its inception in 1872, the National Archives of Canada has acquired, preserved and commemorated the cartographic heritage of Canada. Today, these holdings include some of the earliest known visual representations of Canada and constitute the largest cartographic description of our country. Researchers have access to these records through a variety of finding aids including the widely consulted “old card catalogue.” The database presented here provides access to this catalogue. Many entries contain digitized versions of these maps, plans, and charts.
