Call To Action To Save Library and Archives Canada
Posted 14 January 2012
By The Canadian Association of University Teachers
Library and Archives Canada (LAC), is under threat. Our federal institution responsible for preserving Canada's documentary heritage is undergoing a "modernization" process that has troubling implications for the way Canada's history and heritage are preserved and understood.
Some of the implications include: reduced services; decentralization of heritage materials to third party providers; reduced access to librarians and archivists; and, reduced acquisition of materials.
 Library and Archives Canada, Ottawa
Changes to the way information at LAC is collected and acquired have long-term effects for genealogical and historical research in Canada.
The Canadian Association of University Teachers has launched the campaign to Save Library and Archives Canada, which is calling on the federal government to:
- Amend the Library and Archives of Canada Act to more clearly specify LAC's obligation to maintain a comprehensive collection of Canada's documentary heritage
- Ensure funding required to fulfill this obligation
- Restore LAC's full acquisition of published material and archival acquisitions
- Restore public services, including access to archivists and librarians; access to the general reference collection; and re-establishment of specialist archivist positions
- End fragmentation of collections resulting from decentralization
Please join our campaign today.
If you are a genealogist or historian who would like to share your direct experience with changes at Library & Archives Canada, please contact us (The Canadian Association of University Teachers) at saveLAC@caut.ca.
