Government Information - Canadian Provinces

INTRODUCTION: The Government Documents collection in Elizabeth Dafoe Library is a full depository for Manitoba provincial documents. It also selectively collects documents from other provinces. Most of these publications are catalogued. Some older provincial publications are not catalogued. Below you will find products that can be used to identify and in some cases access provincial documents, followed by individual provincial sites. For many provinces, the catalogue of the Legislative Library of that province is often the best source for links to full text of newer documents.
