The Library actively partners with other groups and institutions on collaborative collection development and web archiving community projects.
A community within the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL), the Canadian Web Archiving Coalition (CWAC) is an inclusive community of practice within Canadian libraries, archives, and other memory institutions engaged or otherwise interested in web archiving. The Coalition’s mission is to identify gaps and opportunities that could be addressed by nationally coordinated strategies, actions, and services, including collaborative collection development, training, infrastructure development, and support for practitioners and researchers.
A community within the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries (COPPUL), the Western Web Archiving Community supports regional collaboration around shared web archiving opportunities and challenges. The community aims to provide opportunities for collaboration and development of web archiving practitioners in BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
The mission of the CGI-DPN is to preserve digital collections of government information. Digital preservation, for purposes of this initiative, means ensuring the long-term viability of digital materials through geographically dispersed servers, protective measures against data loss, and forward format migration. Digital materials produced by government agencies that are at risk of being lost are preserved as part of the program.
