Ontario History

Ontario History is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal that is published bi-annually by The Ontario Historical Society.  Ontario's premier history journal, it discusses a wide variety of topics relating to our province's past. 

In 1899, the OHS published its first issue, then titled Papers and Records.  What began primarily as an effort to publish important documentary sources has evolved over the past century to become today's Ontario History, visiting topics on all aspects of Ontario's heritage.  To read more about that evolution, click here.
