Avalon Project- Documents in Law, History, and Diplomacy
Finding primary documents for research can often be a pain and with the upcoming federal budget cuts to the Library and Archives of Canada the task will become more difficult in the future. The Avalon project, run out of Yale Law School, is a digitized collection of primary documents spanning several thousand years. The majority of materials available are official treaties and major government documents, some of which can be difficult to find elsewhere. The organization of the site also allows for the user to browse easily through documents from related themes such as the Second World War. This is a valuable digital resource for any student of history.
