The Ontario historical society

Abstract

Three years ago, The Ontario Historical Society (OHS) celebrated a landmark anniversary by publishing the 100th volume of its scholarly journal Ontario History. Begun in 1899 under the title Papers and Records, the journal’s original mandate sought to publish and preserve rare documentary sources, encourage historical writing about the province, and stimulate interest in Ontario’s history. For the past 113 years, the publication has seen its share of ups and downs, but has remained a constant force for historical preservation, education and interpretation; a flagship of the OHS.
