What We Do

The Steering Committee on Canada’s Archives was established in spring 2016 to:

• Strike multi-disciplinary taskforces to realize priorities under the strategy set out in Canada’s Archives – A New Blueprint;
• Oversee the work of the taskforces;
• Continuously update members of the Canadian archival community on results attained; and,
• Monitor efforts on the horizon to identify new initiatives to move forward in collaboration.
