Paper of Record

Paper of Record is a news database that provides access to numerous historical newspaper archives from across Canada. Most of the newspaper titles available from Paper of Record date from the early 1800s to mid 1900s. The key feature of this database is the provision of primary resources in an electronic format since all retrievable news items are digital reproductions of the original print or microform news publications.

Paper of Record provides the option to search for historical news content such as:

birth and marriage announcements
obituaries
information about past communities (e.g., Berlin, Ontario)
important historical events covered by news agencies across Canada during the nineteenth century
