Statistical publications are often difficult to acquire. Micromedia ProQuest has done the work for libraries by gathering key documents and making them available on microfiche. Libraries can purchase the documents they need on subscription.

The Statistics Canada Microfiche Collection is the easiest way to ensure that your library has the current publications of Statistics Canada including the latest Census of Canada releases. All publications, including dailies and weeklies, are reissued on microfiche within one month of publication.

The Micromedia ProQuest microfiche collection of Statistics Canada documents is based on the old catalogued series of statistical documents.
