We have some 10,000 private collections of unpublished records in textual and electronic format, some very small and some very large, adding up to 41 kilometres of private papers. These holdings provide valuable insights into a growing and diverse society.

The documents include archives left by prime ministers and other politicians, poets and artists, business leaders, scientists and teachers, public servants and military leaders. There are also many files relating to native and multicultural communities and religious groups. These records, dating from the fifteenth century to the present, document every facet of Canada's colourful and fascinating history.
