About this webinar
The Archives of Ontario (AO) is the foremost repository for Ontario records. It houses all non-active provincial-level government records, many municipal-level government records, and reams of corporate, organizational and private papers.

Excellent information about what is available at the Archives of Ontario, as well as a peak at the new website. Loved that Janice took us on a photographic tour of the facility - I now know what to expect and feel comfortable about visiting in person!
Great webinar. Janice Nickerson has great knowledge of the resources available at the Archives of Ontario. This is a must see for anyone researching in Canada.
Wish I had had access to some of these records -- years ago. I will go back and fill in many gaps - now. Thank you.
A lot of good information.
