MemoryNS is an online, collective database of archival records from members of the CNSA. All Associate Institutional and Institutional Members are given free access to MemoryNS, where they can provide online access to their institution's archival descriptions without having to pay for and maintain a database themselves. Researchers can use MemoryNS to find detailed information about members' records and their creators as well as contact information for the contributing archives.
MemoryNS Video Tutorials
The CNSA has a suite of how-to videos on MemoryNS, covering everything from creating archival descriptions and authority records, to MemoryNS workflows, adding digital objects, and searching the database. You can view them all on our MemoryNS playlist on YouTube.
One-on-One Help
If you'd like direct assistance with MemoryNS, our Digital Archives Coordinator, Rohini Singh, can help members learn how to add descriptions and improve their use of the database.
Rohini can also help researchers learn how to navigate the platform to maximize their research!
