The Canadian Circumpolar Collection is a world-class specialized and distinct reference centre for materials on Northern Canada and an outstanding collection for circumpolar research. The boundaries of the collection are geographic with an emphasis on the North American arctic and sub-arctic regions. Information about the northern portions of the Canadian provinces and Canadian aboriginal peoples, Greenland, Scandinavia, Antarctica and cold regions in general can also be accessed through this library.

It is a multidisciplinary collection of materials relating to the earth sciences, biological sciences, life sciences, applied sciences and social sciences. Subjects covered include, but are not limited to, peoples of the north, health, education, religion, government, land claims, land use, environmental concerns, mining, and engineering.
