Introduction

This finding aid lists the Archives of Ontario Library's holdings of the Journals of the Legislative Assemblies of the Province of Upper Canada, the Province of Canada, and the Province of Ontario, from 1792 to present.

This finding aid is organized by date. It lists what is available in print and on microfilm at the Archives of Ontario, and in electronic format on the Internet.

There is also a comprehensive list of indexes in print, on microfilm and on the Internet.

What are the Journals?



The Journals of the Legislative Assembly are the permanent official record of the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly. They record the activities of the House on a daily basis, including motions, voting results, the introduction and status of bills, petitions, and a list of reports tabled and presented to the House (Sessional papers). As such, they act as the minutes of the meetings of the House.

The Journals are derived from the Votes and Proceedings, which are issued on a daily basis while the House is in session. At the end of each session, the Votes and Proceedings are bound together, and become the Journals.

Verbatim discussions of topics in the Journals are recorded in the Debates of the Legislative Assembly, also known as Hansard. See Library Finding Aid L 21 for information about the Debates.

The terms "Parliament” and “Legislature” mean the same thing, and are used in different periods of time.

Interlibrary Loan



The microfilm listed in this finding aid is not available through Inter-library loan.

The Journals may also be available in print or microfilm at major academic and public libraries across Canada and the United States.

Surviving Journals
The surviving Journals for this period are hand-written manuscripts. They have been transcribed and were printed in the annual Reports of the Bureau of Archives of Ontario, between 1909 and 1914. The transcriptions were from copies held at the Library of Parliament in Ottawa.

These Bureau of Archives Reports are available on Sessional Papers of Ontario microfilm for the year that they were presented to the Assembly. Most annual reports are presented to the House in the year following the year that they are reporting on. These Sessional Papers have been microfilmed.

The Archives of Ontario Library also continues to receive print copies of the Journals, which are bound at the end of each Session.
