About this Event

Je veux une visite en français

Opened in 1997, this architectural gem boasts vaults to protect archives from all hazards and laboratories enabling our specialists to digitize documents and carry out restoration treatments.

During a 60-minute tour, you will have the chance to wander through the laboratories and vaults, discover works by Canadian artists, and learn how our specialists work every day to preserve history. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we preserve your documentary heritage!
