Les autorisations pluriinstitutionnelles de disposer de documents(APDD) contenues dans ce répertoire sont délivrées par le Bibliothécaire et Archiviste du Canada afin de guider les institutions fédérales assujetties à la Loi sur la Bibliothèque et les Archives du Canada qui désirent disposer des documents gérés par toutes les institutions fédérales ou du moins un grand nombre d’entre elles.
