Treasures in Canadiana Online Newspapers

Information you won't find elsewhere online. Newspapers you won't find elsewhere online.

Canadiana Online is a free resource largely composed of monographs, serials and government publications published prior to 1921. There are currently over 19 million pages in the collection.

Information from Beth Stover, Canadiana's Manager, Digitization and Heritage Collections is that over the past year 109 newspaper titles, composed of over 17,000 issues (125,000 pages) have been added to the collection.

This is a free resource. If you're used to subscription sites like newspaper.com or britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk you'll find using this Canadiana collection a bit clunky. There's a learning curve. As with most things in life — pay more and you get more.

Beth provided a list of 2019/20 newspaper additions copied below — never available before AFAIK. Look through it — there could be a place and time of interest. There are also lists of Canadiana Online newspapers at the fabulous The Ancestor Hunt site (scroll down to the Canada section, click on the province and scroll down to Canadiana Online.) It may not include all these recent additions.

Beth tells me Canadiana will continue to add newspapers.
