A Nation's Chronicle: The Canada Gazette

Introduction

Often referred to as "the official newspaper of the Government of Canada," the Canada Gazette has been an important instrument in the Canadian democratic process for more than 160 years. The database comprises images taken from microfilm, microfiche and rare original copies of the Gazette held by LAC.

Please note that the digitization of this material, which began in 2007, is still underway. Not all issues are currently in the database. However, by late 2009, visitors to this site will be able to access all issues of the Canada Gazette, from its beginning in 1841 until 1997.

The Canada Gazette Directorate has a searchable database on its website of all issues since 1998 (http://www.gazette.gc.ca/index-e.html).
