IMPORTANT REMINDER: On-site research is by APPOINTMENT ONLY!  
 
Before you contact us for information, please note that we do not do extensive research, copying or scanning for off-site patrons. We can answer small, focused questions via email. If you can't visit the Archives in person,  send us a detailed request.  We can then determine if we have any useful information and whether it is worthwhile to pursue research through us. If  you choose to pursue further research, our fee is CDN$25.00/ hour (with a minimum one hour charge). We are happy to provide information about other possible sources and repositories at no charge.
REMEMBER TO CHECK OUR RESEARCH LINKS PAGE BEFORE YOU CONTACT US.
