Injured Workers' Consultants (IWC) has developed its library collection over 40 years' of community work. These resources support and record the clinic's activities to improve Ontario's workers' compensation system and address injured worker poverty through casework, law reform, research and education.

Submissions, research papers, and publications document changes to compensation legislation, policy and services. The effect of these changes on the injured worker, often in the worker's own words, is gathered from many sources: workshops and conferences, formal presentations, injured worker group publications, news coverage, participatory projects, lobbying and advocacy activities, stories, letters and poems, oral histories. These documents are a valuable part of the historical record of Ontario's injured worker movement.

With the financial support of the Law Foundation of Ontario, IWC provides public access to its holdings through its online catalogue developed by the great team at Minisis Inc. Archival material on the injured workers' movement and workers' compensation, as well as new material, is continually being added. A digitization project, also funded by the Foundation, is making many of these publications available full-text through our catalogue.

The library is open to external users by appointment:
