INTRODUCTION 
 
WHAT IS THIS CATALOGUE? 
 
This catalogue is an inventory of the records and newspapers 
available on microfilm from the Interloan Service Unit of the  
Archives of Ontario.  It is designed to enable researchers who  
are unable to visit the Archives personally to gain access to our  
more popular microfilm. 
 
Please note that all the documents on the microfilm referred to 
in this catalogue are in English only (except the multicultural 
newspapers).  If you wish to use these documents, you will have 
to search for and read them in English. 
 
HOW TO USE THE CATALOGUE 
The catalogue is arranged into subject categories.  Each category 
has a brief introduction.  The subjects are: 
 
		 BIRTHS 
		 MARRIAGES 
		 DEATHS 
		 MARRIAGE RECORDS COLLECTION 
		 CHURCH RECORDS 
		 CEMETERY TRANSCRIPTIONS 
		 WILLS/ESTATE FILES 
		 GENEALOGIES COLLECTION 
		 LAND RECORDS 
		 MUNICIPAL RECORDS 
		 HISTORICAL ATLASES 
		 NATIVE INDIANS� RECORDS 
		 MULTICULTURAL NEWSPAPERS 
 
Within each subject category the entries are arranged by GS, MS 
or N number.  GS, MS or N numbers identify groups of microfilms. 
Each GS, MS or N number entry includes a listing of the reels 
available and some general information about the microfilm group. 

The SUBJECT CATEGORY appears first in each entry.  The next three 
headings:(RECORD GROUP TITLE; SUB-GROUP HEADING; SERIES TITLE)   
are the Archives' description of the records.  This part of the  
entry will tell you which office created the records, and  
something about their contents. 
 
The NOTES area gives more information about what is on the 
microfilm reels, or about how to search the records. 
 
To use the catalogue effectively read the introductions to the 
subject categories and the NOTES area for the GS, MS or N number 
you are using.

CAN I MAKE COPIES FROM THE MICROFILM? 
 
There are no restrictions on copying documents from any microfilm 
borrowed through the Interloan Service (unless stated in the 
NOTES section).  Use your library's reader/printer machine to 
make copies.  If your library does not have this machine, you 
should order the microfilm through a library that has the 
appropriate reader/printer facilities.  The reels must remain  
within the borrowing institution. 
 
Microfilms listed in the catalogue are available for purchase.   
This is NOT an Interloan Service function.  Individuals or  
institutions may request purchase of microfilm reels by writing  
directly to the Archives of Ontario.  See the "Archives of  
Ontario Fee Schedule and Payment Policy for Microfilm Purchase  
not Loan" following this introduction. Please note that the  
prices have been increased. 

HOW DO I GET MORE INFORMATION? 
 
For further information about using the microfilmed records 
included in this catalogue please consult published sources in 
your library.
