CaNWAN Welcomes the Northwest Territories Archival Network
The Canadian Northwest Archival Network (CaNWAN), housed on the AABC's online system, is pleased to welcome the addition of the Northwest Territories Archival Network.
CaNWAN now provides integrated access to archival descriptions on four provincial and territorial union lists: the British Columbia Archival Union List (BCAUL), the Archives Network of Alberta (ANA), the Yukon Archival Union List (YAUL), and the Northwest Territories Archival Network (NWTAN).
The network is accessible on the web at: http://aabc.bc.ca/aabc/canwan.html .
Links to Full Finding Aids from BCAUL
Although designed as an online fonds-level registry of archives in the province, the British Columbia Archival Union List (BCAUL) provides the ability to link from union list descriptions to full, multi-level finding aids on the web.
A number of archives in BC have exploited this functionality to provide another means of access to their full online inventories. The following are examples of the different kinds and formats of finding aids now being linked to from the union list.
