City Directories

Toronto City directories (1833–1969) have been digitized and are available online from the Toronto Public Library, the Archives of Ontario, and the City of Toronto Archives.

The Ontario Genealogical Society also has an excellent chart with links to all available city directories available online. https://torontofamilyhistory.org/researching-toronto-ancestors/city-directories/ In addition, the library houses many city directories from not only the rest of Ontario but across Canada.

The entire run of print directories can be viewed on open shelves in the Humanities and Social Sciences Department on the second floor of the Toronto Reference Library.
