City Archives in Ontario

Many municipalities in Ontario have archives with historical records of interest to Jewish family historians. A Directory to Municipal Archives in Ontario was published in 2008. Much of the information it contains is outdated, and new municipal archives have since been established. Even so, there is usefulness in the list of archives included in the Directory, as well as the index to the location of records transferred to those archives from more than 700 current and former municipalities located in Ontario. Historical records of municipalities that had or have a Jewish community are Hamilton, Ottawa, Windsor, London, Greater Sudbury, Kitchener, Thunder Bay (formerly Fort William and Port Arthur, and Kingston.
