Directory
Provincial Archives Directory
Provincial and territorial archives across Canada in one verified listing — each linked to its official page.
14 verified listings · last refreshed 2026-11-14
Every province and territory keeps its own archives: the records of its government and of the people, businesses and organizations that shaped it. This directory lists the official page for each archives, so you can start from the one that holds the records you need.
BC Archives is part of the Royal BC Museum, and the Newfoundland and Labrador archives is housed at The Rooms. This is a listing only: it makes no holdings or access claims. Entries are re-checked on the Second Pass volatile schedule.
