Parks Canada should be ashamed of itself.
Destroying information it collected about Canadian Heritage is the opposite of Parks Canada's job description.
How much will they save by closing this database?
"How much will be lost by closing this database?" is the better question.

Reposting this about the closure of the #ParksCanada library. Alan is right: the closure erodes the Agency's ability to fulfill its mandate to protect cultural+ecological heritage. Its own researchers can't speak out so let's help them by expressing our concern! #envhist #cdnhist #cdnpoli

Pourquoi Parcs Canada ferme-t-elle sa bibliothèque spécialisée? L’agence fédérale la juge «non prioritaire», malgré son faible coût et l’importance de ses archives.

Pleased to see @ledevoir.com picking up this story on the closure of #ParksCanada library - part of larger pattern of shutting down govt libraries+devaluing govt researchers' work. Write @juliedabrusin.bsky.social to express your concern! #envhist #cdnpoli #cdhist www.ledevoir.com/culture/9660...

If Parks Canada's Library Goes Quiet Parks Canada’s library closure reflects long institutional decline, threatening internal knowledge, research capacity, and the agency’s ability to document environmental change.

In "If Parks Canada’s Library Goes Quiet," @alanmaceachern.bsky.social weighs in on the impending closure and decommissioning of the Parks Canada library and its materials.

Americans' Best Canadian Idea: ParksCanadaHistory.com American park historians created ParksCanadaHistory.com, digitizing hundreds of publications to preserve and expand public access to national parks research.

"Late in 2013, we used the NPSHistory.com model and began the process of converting Parks Canada publications into electronic editions." - Randall D. Payne and Harry Butowsky
