The Archives of the National Gallery of Canada maintains the Gallery’s own archival records. These include records of the Board of Trustees, exhibition files, correspondence with artists, war art records, loan records, and building records. The Archives also acquires and maintains fonds of personal and corporate papers that relate to the National Gallery of Canada, its history, collections, exhibitions, personalities and facilities.

Documentation files contain information on the National Gallery of Canada, on Canadian and non-Canadian artists, and on other Canadian and non-Canadian art subjects.

Visual Resources collections of slides, digital images, photographs and microforms have as their focus the historical and contemporary art of Canada, North America and western Europe, with a special emphasis on the Gallery’s collections and exhibitions.
