Canadiana.org (formerly the Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions) continues to digitize monographs published in Canada or about Canada from its beginnings to the early 20th century, and has now digitized 15,307 volumes. About one-third of the collection is freely available without a subscription.
Artefacts Canada - Humanities is a database of object records that includes images from museums across the country. It includes records for items from the decorative arts, fine arts, ethnology, and history. Its counterpart Artefacts Canada - Natural Sciences - is a database of approximately 1 million specimen records representing more than 28,000 different species based on the collections information provided by contributing museums.

There have also been efforts by the provinces to digitize content. The Alberta Heritage Digitization Project (AHDP) is an ongoing, not-for-profit endeavor that includes newspapers back to 1885, books about local communities, legal documents, historic photographs, and much more.

Similarly, the Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec has also digitized much content, including the Almanac de Québec, the Canadian Illustrated News, L’Opinion publique, and the Quebec Chronicle. From their home page, select Ressources en ligne.
CBC Archives/Archives Radio-Canada has an excellent growing collection of radio & tv clips on a variety of topics.

Scroll to the bottom of the CBC website (http://www.cbc.ca) to visit Diversions, which every week features editorial cartoons from across the country.
Allouette Canada is a digitization alliance project formed at the beginning of 2006 by the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (or CARL). Allouette Canada aims to act as an aggregator, bringing together disparate digitization efforts from around Canada into a single online location.
Their demonstration site may be viewed at:
CARL has also started the CARL Institutional Repositories Pilot Project, a Canadian initiative to implement institutional repositories at several Canadian research libraries so as to ensure that Canadian institutions remain at the leading edge of innovation in scholarly publishing. The CARL Harvester collects metadata from ten institutional and electronic theses repositories from across the country using the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH) and provides a search interface to the aggregated records.

Finally, although not full-text, those new to Canadian Studies may find it useful to browse the ICCS' two online databases - the database of Foreign Canadiana (titles published outside of Canada) and the database of Core Canadiana (guidance in developing a core Canadiana collection).
