Abstract

The development of large-scale networked resource and virtual repository initiatives in Canada from 1995 to 2005 is interwoven with the availability of new communications technologies, the role of government sponsorship, and the commitment of various Canadian organizations to extend virtual resources development in Canada and internationally. This article provides an overview of key networked resource projects in Canada and addresses major challenges to developing large-scale networked resources in a vast and diverse country.
