We keep and share records of the history of Lakehead University and Northwestern Ontario. Open to all by appointment.

Good news: the Archives is taking appointments for in-person research! These are under careful condition and must be booked well ahead of time. Get in touch if there are records you'd like to see in person.

A milestone! This week we've hit 1TB of data preserved in the Permafrost digital preservation system! Digital records that will be available for researchers through the medium- and long-term.

Digital and web-based records can be quite fragile and easily lost (accidentally deleted, even!) so archives need to act to preserve them on an ongoing basis.

We're closed from today until January 4. That makes it a perfect afternoon to share some more digitized video on YouTube.
