Women's History at RBSC

In collaboration with Library and Archives Canada and the Canadian Institute of Women in Engineering and Sciences (CIWES) (formerly INWES-ERI), the University of Ottawa Library - Archives and Special Collections established this portal to document the history of women who have contributed to science, technology, engineering and mathematics in Canada.

This portal brings together information about the records of women in STEM held by Canadian archival institutions in one place and is accessible in English and French. It is designed to help you discover the history of women and organizations involved in STEM in Canada and direct you to the institutions that hold their records.

Presented by the University of Ottawa Library, this portal is a pan-Canadian inventory of archival materials available in heritage organizations (archives, libraries, museums and cultural institutions) across the country. Users will be able to search the database to locate the organizations and their records which document the trajectory of feminist activism in Canada, since 1960.
