Cabinet Conclusions, 1944 to 1979

The Cabinet Conclusions dataset is based on the public record of the meetings of the Cabinet, which consists of advisors to the Prime Minister of Canada. Also known as Cabinet minutes, Cabinet Conclusions, 1944 to 1979 includes agendas, lists of attendees and summaries of discussions.

Library and Archives Canada’s Cabinet Conclusions content has been selectively augmented to demonstrate the potential of data linking by combining them with other resources. This includes the Orders in Council Division of the federal government’s Guide to Canadian Ministries since Confederation and selected entries from LAC’s rich collection of Canadian census records. Links are provided to a small selection of census records (currently available for 1825 to 1931); these records provide detailed information about individuals and their families, such as marital status, occupation, residence, gender, and ethnicity.

LAC and LINCS​

This dataset is the product of a partnership between LINCS and Library and Archives Canada (LAC). It combines multiple LAC resources to showcase how the value of online LAC collections can be enhanced using Linked Open Data. LINCS would welcome the involvement of subject-matter experts interested in exploring and potentially refining or augmenting this data.
