As part of the 100th anniversary commemoration of the First World War, LAC
is digitizing the remaining 640,000 Canadian Expeditionary Force members’
personnel service files. To be able to perform this major undertaking, LAC will
temporarily close portions of the CEF service files, with 75% of the collection
remaining open at all times during the project. At the end of the digitization
project, expected in 2015, Canadians will have unprecedented online access to
this rich resource and will be able to research high-quality digital copies of
the more than 650,000 service files for free. At that point , LAC will no
longer take orders for copies. For more information on this initiative,
please consult the Fact
Sheet: Digitization of Canadian Expeditionary Force Service Files,
which will provide updates on the portion of the collection being worked on.
