The Toronto Star Archives
« on: Thursday 28 November 19 10:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi All

A few years ago I subscribed to the Toronto Star Archive site, I think for 24 hours or could have been a week or so.

Iv'e been trying to find the site again "googling" etc but I cant seem to get the right link - I keep getting directed to today's Toronto Star News site or when I choose http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/thestar/search.html  my Virgin media browser just redirects me and states "not found"

Can someone please post a link to the subscription page for the archives please.
Thanks in advance
Jan Ann

Hi Gadget

No - that's not the link,  you have to have a Toronto Library card to access it

Maybe its not available to those outside Canada anymore ::)
Thanks Anyway

Yes - sorry. I added an amendment to my post. That's just for residents.

The only one that I can find seems to just have links to 2000 onwards  :-\

Thanks for trying Gadget, I used to be able to get Proquest via my local UK library card and therefore access  certain world newspapers but that service has been cancelled due to local authority cuts  ::)

Nevermind, I'll look elswhere,
Cheers
