Overview

Some digital collections within the purview of the University of Victoria (UVic) are hosted at the Internet Archive, including materials connected to Canada Digital Archives initiatives. These online collections are distinct from the physical holdings available at UVic's McPherson Library. The Internet Archive serves as the hosting platform, with Brewster Kahle as its founder and digital librarian.

Collections and Holdings

UVic digital materials hosted at the Internet Archive encompass various archival and digitized collections accessible online. Non-digital (physical) archives and special collections are held at UVic's McPherson Library in Victoria, BC, under the care of UVic Special Collections and University Archives. Digital collections are also accessible via Vault (vault.library.uvic.ca) and UVicSpace (dspace.library.uvic.ca).

The Internet Archive-hosted UVic collections are available online 24 hours a day at no cost. For physical special collections, in-person visits to McPherson Library are available by appointment.
