Digitized Microfilm Collections
Explore some of our most popular microfilm collections online! FamilySearch International has digitized thousands of our microfilm reels for you to access these records free of charge through their website, making it even easier for you to trace your family history in Ontario or explore the province’s past.
The records can be accessed after creating and logging in to your FamilySearch account.
Most of these microfilm records from our holdings are available online via the FamilySearch catalogue. To access the digital copies, click on the camera icon in the catalogue.
Please note: FamilySearch first digitizes records and provides access to them through the catalogue on their website, then indexes each collection to make the records searchable. While many of our microfilm records are available in the FamilySearch catalogue, indexing is still pending for most collections. Quality of the digitized images may vary depending on the quality of the original microfilm.
