What is ARCA?

ARCA is the province-wide network of digital repositories that provides access to faculty and student research output across multiple post-secondary institutions via a cross-repository search layer. It also supports the management of institutional digital assets and showcases British Columbia as a hub for knowledge creation.

UCW Wise was created with support from ARCA and is hosted on ARCA’s BC ELN servers.
