Microfilm Reels in Drawer 2<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Microfilm reels in this drawer are under review.<\/p>\n

Microfilm Reels in Drawer 3<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Microfilm reels in this drawer are under review.<\/p>\n

Microfilm Reels in Drawer 4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Drawer 4 has essentially four rows of microfilm reels stretching from the front of the drawer toward the back.
\nFacing the drawer from left to right the rows are as follows:<\/p>\n

(1) 1901 Census for Ontario (12 reels) data is searchable online<\/p>\n

(2) 1901 Census for Quebec (9 reels) data is searchable online<\/p>\n

(3) Canada Gazette Publications (14 reels) questionable research potential<\/p>\n

(4) Picton Gazette Newspapers (9 reels) very spotty coverage\/lacks continuity<\/p>\n

I was disappointed with the lack of continuity for the Picton Gazette newspapers.
\nWe need to partner with another group who has more complete coverage and could fill in the missing editions.<\/p>\n
