Papers & Records Vol. XXVII (1931), Ontario Historical Society
Cat No.: CA0171-31:
This is a complete reproduction of the 27th volume of papers published by the Ontario Historical Society in 1931. These publications are generally a gold mine of valuable genealogy and history information but it can be difficult to recognize the value of the individual papers because they are “hidden” within the overall “Papers and Records” title of the collection. For this reason, and to allow you to select only the chapters you are interested, in we also published a selection of the individual papers as “Gleanings,” under their more descriptive individual titles.
The following is a full list of the Contents listing of this volume. For further descriptions of those papers noted as being published as Gleanings we suggest you consult our Catalogue’s Gleanings descriptions. Brief descriptions of the remaining papers follows the table.
