Due credit

At some point in the recent past, the little elves who work behind the scenes on the House of Assembly website, using the magic of computerology, converted the House of Assembly Hansards, going all the way back to March 1992, into HTML files, and then posted them on the intertubes. Previously, and up until relatively recently, eHansard was only available back to 1998.

This means that, until the National Library's digitization program kicks in with a vengeance, hopefully later this year, there is better coverage of full-text HTML Hansard for the House of Assembly than for the House of Commons, which (for now) only goes back to the start of the first Chrétien Parliament in 1994.

Magical little elves: you rock.
