About us
Who we are
Our Ontario is a unique partnership with cultural and heritage organizations of all shapes and sizes, designed to make our digital content discoverable to a global audience. We are part of Knowledge Ontario, a not-for-profit collaborative that offers programs and services addressing the information and learning needs of Ontarians in the digital environment.
What we do
Our goal is to help Ontarians of all ages discover the extraordinary stories contained in the digital collections of their culture and history organizations and communities. We leverage the discovery and sharing of Ontario’s culture, history and stories.
What we do for content organizations
Our Ontario services advance the discovery and sharing of Ontario digital content by developing cutting- edge technologies for use by a diverse group of content organizations. We partner with cultural heritage and community content organizations, offering our expertise in search technologies, and providing free tools, hosting and user interface for digital collections.
