International

Canada has been involved in many international events throughout its history, and there are numerous documents related to these events that are of historical significance. These documents include official records such as diplomatic correspondence, international agreements, and United Nations reports, as well as personal letters, diaries, and photographs of Canadian citizens who have participated in international events. Many of these documents are housed in national and provincial archives and libraries, where they serve as important resources for researchers, historians, and the general public interested in learning about Canada's role in global affairs. They provide valuable insights into Canada's foreign policy, its relationships with other nations, and the contributions of Canadians to international events ranging from war and peacekeeping to human rights and environmental protection.
