In a Flood Tide of Digital Data, an Ark Full of Books

Tracey P. Lauriault

of Government sessional papers and census documents were not available
otherwise.  It is distressing to see how much of our history is thrown
out, and how little is digitized in Canada.

"Every epoch dreams the one that follows it's the dream form of the
future, not its reality" it is the "wish image of the collective".

Walter Benjamin, between 1927-1940,
