List of archives in Canada

This is a modified version of the Wikipedia page (which has only limited development of specific archive articles), and concentrates on the local history entries, and may be added to as appropriate. Some material will be retained for the record when bodies can no longer be traced/cease. Details of archives listed but not presently red-linked welcome - adding square brackets as appropriate.

A longer list is available at the equivalent Archverdict page.
