Former Prime Minister Stephen Harper has announced the launch of the Stephen J. Harper Archive and Oral History Project, which is now open to the public at Library and Archives Canada (LAC).
Harper’s archival collection is a prime ministerial record of his time serving as Canada’s 22nd prime minister, from 2006 to 2015. He was the longest-serving Conservative prime minister since Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, in 1891.
