In the absence of a national web archiving strategy, Canadian governments, universities, and cultural heritage institutions have pursued disparate web archival collecting strategies. Carried out generally through contracts with the Internet Archive's Archive-It services, these medium-sized collections amount to a significant portion of Canada's born-digital cultural heritage since 2005. While there has been some collaboration between institutions, notably via the Council of Prairie and Pacific University Libraries in western Canada, most web archiving collecting has been taking place in silos. Researchers seeking to use web archives in Canada are thus limited not only to the Archive-It search portal, but also to exploring on a silo-ed collection-by-collection basis. Given the growing importance of web archives for scholarly research, our project breaks down silos and generate a common search portal and derivative dataset provider.\\

Our Web Archiving for Longitudinal Knowledge (WALK) Project, housed at http://webarchives.ca/and with our main activity via our GitHub repo at https://github.com/web- archive-group/WALK, has been bringing together Canadian partners to integrate web archival collections. Co-directed by a historian and a librarian, the project brings together computer scientists working on the warcbase project, doctoral students working on governance issues, and students running tests and usability improvements. We currently have ~20TB of web archival collections, aggregated from the Universities of Toronto, Alberta, Winnipeg, and Victoria, as well as Dalhousie and Simon Fraser University.
