Ontario is one of the Canadian provinces that does not have a single central online repository for searching historical newspapers. However, there are several large collections of historical newspapers. Also, there are quite a few free publications available on other sites and there are collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them.
So go for it – find your Ontario ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives.
Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also, I suspect that some of these links may change over time – so if there is a dead link – please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.

I would like to receive any info regarding southern Ontario as I’m having difficulty finding info regarding my great grandparents thanks
I was looking for information. What was the Bailieboro library back in the 1800’s.
I still have not seen any information on the Bailieboro library . I would like to know what it used to be in the 1930’s.
Hi Dorothy, Have you tried the Women’s Institute’s virtual archives? The Tweedsmuir books from Bailieboro WI are online for viewing and they may have included this type of information, as they normally would. collections.fwio.on.ca Hope this helps.
Our volunteers have indexed over 31,000 births, marriage, and deaths from the Port Hope 1832-1982 newspaper microfilms. If you are researching that area, please check us out.
It’s taken me awhile but I have added all these to my Obit and BMD databases. They will be posted online i my next update. Thanks, Peter!
This list is astonishing. Thank you so much!
I found and old series stashed away in the attic. Although, not news based, I have many of a series to what looks like 2-3 years around 1915.
The series is called Pleasant Hours and based in Toronto.
I am researching my family’s history from the late 1800. & early 1900s. My great grandfather, Michael J Doyle, owned the Leland Hotel in Carleton Place in 1904 and his son, Leo took out over on his death in 1916. My father, Meyer Francis, ws born in Smiths Falls in 1910 and my mother, Alma Veronica Voyce, was born in Almonte in 1912.
Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.
Michael (Murray) Doyle

Are you aware of anywhere online, where I can find The Christian Guardian newspaper ,of the Canadian Methodist Church, out of Toronto. I’m trying to research one of my ancestors, who was a Methodist ‘Circuit Rider’, through mid-Ontario, during the 1870’s. Thanks!
Here are a couple of links with some info:

I couldn’t find an online collection, however.
Thank you very much for your prompt response. I will be checking these websites, to be sure.
We have indexed 31000+ area BMD entries from the 1832-1988 Port Hope newspapers. Microfilms of the original papers are housed at the Port Hope Public Library.
I know that he graduated from Victoria College in 1877, but that was in Whitby. Nor would it be a BMD. He did not spend any other time, in that area, that I am aware of. But thanks for your response!
There are some digitized Christian Guardian issues but not a lot at Internet Archive. Of course the year I went looking for today is not there.

I’ll take a look. Thanks
Thank you for this valuable information! I have found an article on a drowning in Bracebridge. Is there a way of saving the article and being able to print it?
If you could tell me which link in the list that had the article, I will look at that site and answer your question. All sites are different in how you can download or clip an article.
Please note that the Kenora, Ontario Public Library has digitalized many of the local newspapers and their editions from as early as 1883, when Kenora was known as Rat Portage. Notices of events occurring in other communities in the area are usually included, especially Keewatin, Norman, Reddit, and Minaki, You can access and copy for free. is free.
Thanks. I’ll include it in my next update.
