Manitoba Online Historical Newspapers Summary

4/17/2020

2 Comments

 
Picture

Manitoba is one of the Canadian provinces that has a single central online repository for searching historical newspapers. Also, there are several free publications available on other sites and there are collections available on subscription sites. Below is a list of where the titles are stored and the link so that you can access them. 

So go for it - find your Manitoba ancestors and all the interesting articles that capture the stories of their lives. 

Please note that I have not always entered the dates that are included in the collections, as I suspect they will change as more items are digitized. Also I suspect that some of these links may change over time - so if there is a dead link - please use your favorite search engine to find their new location.

Great stuff - but can someone point me in the right direction to get either good resolution scans of wholes pages or a way of getting articles that have been missed from the serach box (eg article on page 1 comes up in a search as a pdf file but the continuation on page 3 dosent appear to have been done)
Thanks

Looking for online resources for the now defunct Der Nordwesten begun about 1889 in Winnipeg by Wilhelm Hespler - later Kanada Kurier (when it ceased ca 2004) It was the LONGEST running German newspaper in Canada. Only LAC and Manitoba Legislative Library have microfilm copies for most of the run. Some other libraries will have some issues. Kanada Kurier published Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, and a few other locations. Have asked several sources why it has yet to be digitised (other than the cost which for such a long run would be expensive) But you missed listing it In the late 1940s and early 1950s it listed all the German immigrants coming to Canada on the Beaverbrae.....
