At the close of the 1930s, Canada paused to take stock of its memory. In Dominion of Canada: Report of the Public Archives for the Year 1938, Dominion Archivist Gustave Lanctot opens a rare window onto how a nation organised, described, and valued its records on the eve of war. History lives in these files. This authoritative canadian government archives report charts the growth of federal archives in Ottawa, Canada, surveying the acquisition and arrangement of public records, private papers and official publications that underpin dominion era Canadian history and the wider story of 20th century Canada archives. Presented as a formal historical records reference volume, it stands today as a primary source document collection in its own right: indispensable as a research resource for historians, a reference book for archivists, and a touchstone for anyone interested in public records administration Canada and the early evolution of Library and Archives Canada history. Rich in detail about the building of a national Canadian historical documents collection and the practice of canadian archival history 1930s, it illuminates how governments chose what to keep, how to preserve it, and how to grant public access. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, this carefully produced edition returns a foundational document of Canadian memory-keeping to circulation for scholars, institutions and discerning readers alike.
