Hosted by CapCHI
This time at CapCHI, the Digital Access Agile Team from Library and Archives Canada (LAC) will introduce us to their newly developed census access tool Census Search. Census Search unifies all 17 separate historical Census databases currently available on the LAC website and makes them accessible to the public via one searchable interface. Our guests will discuss the many challenges the team has faced during the development and design process of Census Search’s interface and database and share the many valuable insights they uncovered along the way.
