Founded in 1996, the Internet Archive offers permanent access to digital historical collections including texts, audio, moving images, software, and archived web pages.
We have recently sent a few hundred historical French items from the OISE Library collections to the Robarts Library. These will be scanned and added to the Internet Archive.
Items from the OISE Library currently included in the Internet Archive can be viewed and downloaded at:
