For a nominal fee you can access the Toronto Star Toronto Star Page Archives (formerly Pages of the Past), online archive containing millions of pages as they actually appeared, from 2011 going back to December, 1894. Toronto Star Archives contains all stories and photos as well as ads, birth and death notices, classified ads, stock tables, sports statistic, movie listings and so on. To use this service you will need a valid credit card to perform this secure transaction - the costs are suppose to be reasonable.

If by any chance they came from the Halton / Milton area of Toronto there is an excellent searchable archive called Halinet.

Hi,

Is there any online archive for New Brunswick newspapers in Canada and also those for Waterloo, Ontario.

I have seen the site for the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick  for New Brunswick papers but I am keen to understand if there are any other good online sources of newspapers for N Brunswick or Waterloo, Ontario.

Many thanks,
Keston.
