Results
[edit]See list of select Canadian businesses and where their archives are located at https://w.wiki/6oHi - note: this list is not exhaustive; consult with your local archivist if you do not find what you are looking for.
Background
[edit]The primary goal of this project initially was to explore how to deliver Wikidata "archives at" results via SPARQL queries to support U of T students and faculty looking for archival records from Canadian businesses. Archives data was primarily extracted from provincial discovery portals by Graduate Student Library Assistants Isobel Carnegie and Cassidy Kohut.
