Provincial Archaeological Report Library
The Provincial
Archaeological Report Library is now available
online. This
online library has been developed by the
Archaeology Branch and is hosted by the Queen’s
Printer. It is a web based application
that enables authorized users to search, view,
download, and order archaeological reports in
PDF format.
The online library provides many useful ways to
search for reports.
Specific fields that can be searched include:
permit number, permit type, map sheet, title,
abstract, author, and Borden number.
You can also conduct quick or advanced
keyword searches on the full text of all reports in
the online library.
The Archaeology Branch has contacted copyright
owners of permit reports to request a license to
allow the inclusion of their reports in the online
library.
The online library contains permit reports for which
a license has been granted, plus permit reports
where the Province already owns copyright.
Non-permit reports are not currently included
but may be added in the future.
See
Bulletin 20 - Permit Report Copyright
for more information about copyright licensing.
Accessing and Using the Online Library
The primary purpose of the online library is to
serve high-volume, repeat clients who require
archaeological report information for land use
planning or archaeological studies.
Defined client groups are:
archaeological
consultants, federal and provincial resource or land
use planning agencies, First Nations, and accredited
academic researchers.
The online library is not available to the
general public.
Non-archaeologists should be aware that the reports
in the online library contain scientific and
technical information specific to the field of
archaeology; you may want to seek professional
archaeological assistance in interpreting report
contents prior to making land use and resource
decisions.
All users of the online library
must consent to a set of terms and conditions
governing data sharing and access. Please complete
an
Information Sharing Agreement
and submit it to
the
Archaeological Site Inventory Section.
