Board of Directors
Canadiana.org is governed by an active volunteer Board of Directors made up of distinguished Canadian scholars and representatives of major research libraries from across Canada, together with partners who strongly champion access to Canadian heritage. Our pan-Canadian governance structure recognizes the need for many types of partners and sectors to participate in the governance and financial support of the organization and its vision. Governance will be as representative as possible of the many constituent sectors within the memory community such as libraries, archives, government, museums, history and genealogy societies. Canadiana.org is collaborative so as to give it the flexibility to grow and the agility to respond to changing opportunities.
