For many decades the Canadian Environmental Law Foundation has worked to curate and make available environmental law history and resources to the public. The Environmental History Program formalizes this effort, placing all of the electronically available collections together in one place as a rich virtual library.
Thanks to support from Legal Aid Ontario, the physical library is funded through to 2024. The Foundation welcomes donations or pledges for long-term financial support for the library and the digital archives.
