Library And Archives Canada: Libraries And Archives

Scary Prospect Dept: Library and Archives Canada alone has received or will still receive more than 500 surplus notices and the department announced 20 per cent of its workforce would be let go, according to CBC. That is a scary prospect, according to researchers, genealogists and academics that often rely on such libraries and history to develop their work and the federal government is eliminating a series of libraries and archives throughout different departments as part of the latest budget cuts. The cuts to the government's archival collections stretch beyond just one department, though. Libraries at the transport, immigration and public works departments will be eliminated.
