The National Heritage Digitisation Strategy (NHDS) is part of a long history of digitizing cultural heritage materials that has been ongoing in the Canadian scholarly and heritage communities since at least the 1960s, moving in step with developments in digital technologies, including the world wide web. This history includes digitization strategies developed by the Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproductions (CIHM) and the Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) starting in the 1970s, the digital libraries initiative of the 1990s, and the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) and Canadiana in the 2000s.
