Goad’s Atlas of the City of Toronto

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Robert

Charles Goad of Montreal created beautiful maps of the blossoming city of Toronto. It was not unusual for map making and surveying to be based in Montreal in that era since Montreal was the primiere city in the young country of Canada. Nathan Ng has “cobbled together” four of Goad’s books for years 1884, 1890, 1893, and 1899  presenting them in all their colourful glory. Nathan admits that the maps are readily available in the public domain, but searching and sometimes viewing them is a challenge. His contribution at his Recursion blog is a simple set of overview maps. Clicking on any area produces the associated plate in any modern browser. Nathan also publishes the street and plate cross-reference for the maps, as well as a history of Charles Goad. Treat yourself to a visit by clicking here at the Recursion blogspot.

Photographers of Ontario

Posted on March 17, 2012 by Robert

TORONTO. March 17, 2012.  Photographer John Krug began this project a few years ago as a way of correcting a lot of published misinformation. The Library & Archives Canada (LAC) offered their support in December 2010 and the site went up a month later on January 13, 2011.  While the site is still very much a “work-in-progress” at present, John hopes to make it a worthy spot for anyone researching our rich photographic history.
