Abstract
In 2002, Margaret Conrad, the University of New Brunswick's Canada Research Chair in Atlantic Canada Studies (CRC), in cooperation with UNB's Electronic Text Centre, began the development of a portal website designed to provide scholars of Atlantic Canada with one stop shopping for resources pertaining to the region. Included in the portal website is a searchable database of works published on the region, an e-print repository, and a wide selection of annotated links on Atlantic Canada. In addition to these features, the CRC also began an ambitious internal program of online publishing which led to the development of the Atlantic Canada Virtual Archives (ACVA). Funded in part by the Canadian Foundation for Innovations, the ACVA is a digital archive of historical documents. It currently hosts selections from two archival collections: the papers of prominent loyalist Edward Winslow and the McQueen Family Papers.[1] This paper will explore the development of the ACVA website, following the project from the idea stage, through the digital imaging and resource development stages, to the finished product.
