LAUNCH OF THE CANADIAN GENEALOGY CENTRE WEB SITE March 26, 2003 (Ottawa) -

The Library and Archives of Canada is pleased to announce the official 
launch of the Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site. This unique
virtual centre will be the primary online site for access to genealogical 
resources in Canada. Over the years, Canadians have shown a growing 
interest in finding out more about their family histories, stories and 
roots.  In fact, genealogy and family history research are the fastest 
growing hobbies in North America.

The Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site is an online centre that will 
provide access to all genealogical resources in Canada. It will
offer genealogical content, services, advice, and tools, and provide 
Canadians with the opportunity to work on joint projects online in both
official languages.

"The Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site will allow history to be written in 
the first person-our history, our family, our community-by
making available to Canadians the vast network of genealogical information 
that exists across the country and around the world."

                 Web site launch:
                 Date:  Saturday, March 29, 2003

This unique Centre was made possible in part through the Canadian Culture 
Online Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
