Results

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

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.
