Welcome!

The Toronto Island History Project aims to bring together & digitize, as much as possible, the extant files, libraries and collections relating to the Toronto Islands.

The latest material appears in the Blog or in Projects.
As more assembles, these will be grouped under the “Collections” menu. Full text Search should work!

For any questions/suggestions, contact Edward (Ted) English, Eric Light, or Eric Zhelka via email below. If you wish to contribute (and we’re counting on you), please email your files, photos, videos, digital material to: [email protected]
