Welcome to the Canadian Archive of Women in STEM

In collaboration with Library and Archives Canada and the Canadian Institute of Women in Engineering and Sciences (CIWES) (formerly INWES-ERI), the University of Ottawa Library - Archives and Special Collections is establishing a centre of expertise, for the benefit of current and future researchers, to document the history of women who have contributed to science, technology, engineering and mathematics in Canada.

For the first time in Canada, information about the records of women in STEM held by Canadian archival institutions are brought together in one place and accessible in both English and French. Our searchable index will help you to discover the history of women and organizations involved in STEM in Canada and direct you to the institutions that hold their records.

If you have or are currently working in STEM and are interested in donating your records to the University of Ottawa Archives and Special Collections please contact us by email at arcs@uOttawa.ca. Please refer to our “how-to guide” to help you prepare your records for donation.

If your cultural institution would like to have your archives that relate to women in STEM featured in our index or would like to pursue collaboration please contact us at arcs@uOttawa.ca.

Donating your records

The Canadian Archive of Women in STEM is a new initiative of the Archives and Special Collections at the University of Ottawa Library. Its primary purpose is to acquire, preserve and make available, archival records in all formats that will enrich the research of women’s contributions to STEM in Canada. The Archives and Special Collections is a modern and publicly accessible repository and our collections are used by a broad range of individuals from a wide range of disciplines, including teachers and students, independent scholars, writers, journalists, and community activists.
