Archives underpin virtually all other aspects of heritage. They support the work of educators, students, historians, journalists, filmmakers, urban planners, marketers and salespeople, the publishing industry, archaeologists, engineers, genealogists, the built heritage community, museum workers, lifelong learners, immigrants, cultural groups, and tourism operators.

If you’re faculty in an academic unit and would like to tour your class through the collections, a student needing digital content for a major research project, or a producer working on your next film - whatever your project or request - we are available to assist you with your research and digital content needs. The Beaton Institute contains over 3,000 textual collections, 300,000 photographs, 5,000 audio and video tapes, 1,000 maps, several dozen newspapers, as well as thousands of rare, antiquarian, local, and out-of-print publications.

Please contact us via email, telephone, or come visit the Institute at Cape Breton University. The Beaton Institute is in Room CE-267 in the Student, Culture, and Heritage Centre, around the corner from the Cape Breton University Art Gallery. Our hours and contact information can be found below.
