      History

      The Cultural Partnerships Branch was established in 1995, assuming the functions of the former Libraries and Community Information Branch and the Cultural Liaison Branch.

      The Branch consisted of three units: the Libraries Planning and Operations Unit; the Libraries Telematics and New Media Unit; and the Ontario Library Service.

      In 2000, functions of this branch were moved to the newly created Heritage and Libraries Branch. Co-ordination with cultural agencies moved to a section within the Arts and Cultural Agencies Branch.
