Ottawa History Digitization Survey

Digitized original sources are becoming increasingly important in genealogical and historical studies. Do you know of any online collections of digitized Ottawa historic materials?

Examples would be online newspapers, city directories, photographic collections, oral histories and other primary materials, likely from libraries, archives and museums, which
relate to the City of Ottawa.

Some of the materials identified so far are:
