Update: May 19, 2010

From: Thibodeau, Clay
Subject: Ontario Congregations' Records More Accessible Online

The Central Conferences Archives of the United Church of Canada is very pleased to announce an addition to our online databases. Congregational records from Bay of Quinte, Hamilton, London, Manitou, and Toronto Conferences are now searchable online to the file level.

The Archives database is available here:
http://archives.united-church.ca/archives.htm

Use a keyword search, or choose the advanced search option, to find the congregation you are interested in. Click “view full record” and look for the blue link to the finding aid. Click this and you’ll see a finding aid, just as if you were in our reading room.

The Archives hopes to make research more convenient and accurate through the use of technology, and we will continue to develop our online presence. A special thank you goes to Central Conferences Archives Assistant, Thomas Mannell, for his work to make these finding aids accessible.
