Description: 'Our Roots/Nos Racines: Canada's Local Histories brings Canadian history to life, reflecting the breadth and depth of our country's heritage. Canada's diverse landscapes, resources and people have all contributed to our rich history and ever-evolving national character. Now a comprehensive, coast-to-coast record of Canadian local histories is being compiled and made available to students of history everywhere via the World Wide Web. The best part of this online collection is that searching using key words, dates, authors, and more only takes seconds.' As of February 2003, Our Roots can only be searched by author, title or subject. 'Copyright clearance is required for every item placed on the site with the exception of those local histories in the public domain. The Editorial Board decides upon the definition of a local history.'
