The AABC Archivist's Toolkit

The AABC Archivist's Toolkit offers access to a wide range of on-line and published resources for archivists and archives workers at all levels. Special care is taken to provide resources for small and medium-sized archives. Intended for the British Columbia archives community, the AABC Archivists'Toolkit has evolved into much more. Archives-related sites across Canada and internationally link to this valuable site.

Recommendations for additions, revisions and corrections are encouraged and should be directed to the Archives Association of British Columbia at info@aabc.ca.

Revision is ongoing. Submissions of additions, revisions and corrections are encouraged.
