Formerly, the National Library was not the same as the National Archives, although it has the same street address. It has been combined with the former National Archives of Canada, to form the new Library and Archives Canada. It is still in a "separate" building though. It has a helpful collection of published genealogies, manuscripts, histories, directories, maps, and newspapers. It also has periodicals from genealogical and historical societies across Canada. Write for information about their holdings and services: | Formerly, the National Library was not the same as the National Archives, although it has the same street address.
