Branch Meeting Dates

Meeting nights are the third Monday of each month, excluding July and August. We meet at the Parkside, formerly known as Sudbury Older Adult Centre (YMCA), 140 Durham Street, Sudbury (unless otherwise noted in the Branch programme below). We will try to keep you aware of what's happening by way of our phone captain and crew; some activities are waiting to be confirmed. Everyone is welcome to attend our meetings which commence at 7:00 pm. Please Note: There is ample FREE PARKING (after 6 P.M.) in the lot below the YMCA building.

ARCHIVES OF ONTARIO LIBRARY
New Archives of Ontario Microfilm Interloan Catalogue

The Archives of Ontario is pleased to announce the release of the updated microfilm interloan catalogue. Unlike earlier catalogues, the new catalogue is online, educational and interactive. Those familiar with their previous catalogues will notice that not all of the interloan microfilm is currently listed. Rather than delaying the release of the catalogue they wanted to ensure that their most popular holdings (including Ontario Vital Statistics) were up to date and available now. They will be updating the catalogue regularly as well as adding new microfilm to their interloan holdings in the coming months.

You will find them at http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/
The main Interloan English page is http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/interloan/index.html
The main Interloan French page is http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/french/interloan/index.html
Important Note: The Microfilm Interloan Service allows you to borrow microfilmed archival records through a library or other institution that participates in the interlibrary loan system. Ask your local library about their interlibrary loan policies. Researchers cannot order the microfilm directly from the Archives you must go through your local library.

Can we suggest that you may wish to consider joining FRIENDS of the ARCHIVES of ONTARIO? The time and opportunity has come for us, as individuals, to assist the Archives in carrying on with tradition of preserving the evidence of our provincial history; to show our support for and increase the awareness of the Archives of Ontario; and to acknowledge the important role it plays in preserving our history.
