A Project to Provide Enhanced Access to Canada's Published Heritage Early Canadiana Online (ECO) is a collaborative research project to provide Web access to a digital library of primary sources in Canadian history from the first European contact to the late 19th century. The collection is particularly strong in the subject areas of literature, women's history, travel and exploration, native studies and the history of French Canada. The Early Canadiana Online (ECO) collection is made up of images of the pages in the selected books and pamphlets. After searching by title, author, subject, or keyword and finding a text you wish to look at, you will see a scanned image of the page of the volume. Optical Character recognition (OCR) has been performed on the images to enhance searching and accessing the texts. However, the OCR is not fully accurate, due to the age of the materials and the fact that they were not disbound before filming, so we will present the page image. A small group of texts may be fully processed and made available as both page images and electronic text.
