Technical Details
Two copies of the Ipperwash Inquiry website were
transferred to the Archives of Ontario on two CD-Rs on
August 22, 2007 following the conclusion of the
Inquiry’s work and the release of its report. The
website was transferred under authorized records
schedules RC 1 (Royal Commissions - Operation Files) and
RC 2 (Royal Commissions - Administration Files). Each
CD-R contains the html files of the Ipperwash Inquiry
website and supporting documentation and total 1605
files in 339 folders with a size of 399 megabytes.
The website was developed and hosted by Autcon for
the Government of Ontario with the cooperation of Peter
Rehak, Coordinator and Media Relations Officer, David
Henderson, Chief Administrative Officer for the Inquiry
and Debbie Strauss, Manager of Operations & Executive
Assistant to the Commissioner.
This is the final version of the Inquiry's website.
The original domain name was www.ipperwashinquiry.ca. It
was launched on February 5, 2004 and ran on a 64-bit
Linux server running Apache web server software. A
mirror server ran the same operating system and web
server software. The site had received about 3 million
hits at the time of transfer to the Archives of Ontario.
