Five years ago, we committed to digitizing all of the Canadian Expeditionary Force service files. Removing pins, clips and staples (260 kg of metal!), as well as adhesive, to prepare all 622,290 files of the Canadian Expeditionary Force ready for digitization took 18 months alone! We’re pleased to announce that the project is now 100% complete, and you can access all of the files online for free: ow.ly/TxJk30ljT1U With the end of the project, over 30 million images have been digitized, which res

For many kids and parents across Canada, the holiday season meant that the “Sears Wish Book” was coming! First introduced in the United States by Sears in 1933, the “Wish Book” made its first appearance in Canada in 1953 with the opening of the first Canadian Sears store in Stratford, Ontario. The “Wish Book” was packed with gift ideas for adults and children alike! For many of us lucky enough to get our hands on it, the first stop was always the toy section at the back—dozens of pages filled wi

“The scenes in MONS to-day will never be forgotten by those who witnessed them.” At 4:30 a.m. on November 11, 1918, a company of Canadian soldiers entered the Belgian town of Mons. It had been under German control since 1914. “A few hours later,” records the war diary of the Royal Artillery, Canadian Corps, “word was received from First Army H.Q. that the Armistice had been signed and that hostilities would cease at 11:00 a.m.” It was an end to a costly campaign and an even more costly war. 280

Happy 30th birthday to the toonie! Canada’s $2 coin was first introduced on February 19, 1996. Did you know? A toonie can last 20 years, unlike paper currency, which often had to be removed from circulation after just one year? 📷 520590 | Library and Archives Canada
