Researching Older Canadian Companies |

If you're researching older Canadian companies, the Business, Science and Technology Department of the Toronto Reference Library has just created, with the help of staff in other departments at TRL, a second edition of Researching Older Canadian Companies at the Metropolitan Toronto Library, called Researching Older Canadian Companies: a Guide to Resources in the Toronto Reference Library, Toronto Public Library.

We have included companies that have a significant or wholly Canadian presence. The geographic coverage is all of Canada. The selected date range is from 1867-1967, essentially, the time of Confederation and onwards.
