Early Canadiana |
Early Canadiana is a major research collection of microfiches produced by Canadiana.org (formerly the Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions, or CIHM.) At present there are four components of Early Canadiana: Pre-1900 Monographs; Pre-1900 Periodicals; Pre-1900 Annuals; and the newest collection, Canadian Monographs 1900 to 1920. Fogler Library owns all the Pre-1900 components of Early Canadiana which include over 65,000 titles of monographs and serials published in Canada, or about Canada before 1901. Bibliographic records for all titles in the Pre-1900 collections have been added to URSUS, making these titles accessible by author, title, key-word, and subject, and the library staff is currently cataloging the remaining titles. In addition, Fogler library is purchasing the 11-unit, 25,000-title Canadian Monographs 1900 to 1920 at the rate of one unit per year and is committed to cataloging all the titles in this collection as well. Currently the library owns over a third of this collection, and has created cataloging records for each of the titles it has. All Early Canadiana materials are available to those outside the University of Maine community through interlibrary loan.
