You may contact each provincial archive for information about its services. The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick and the Archives of Ontario lend microfilms to public and university libraries in North America participating in the interlibrary loan service. The other archives do not, with a few exceptions for certain record types (such as newspapers). None of the archives have sufficient staff to research records for you, but they may be able to furnish names of researchers you can hire. For more information, see the "Archives and Libraries" Wiki article for each province.

The Internet can be useful obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. Websites for family history can help:  
 
*Search collections and information for archives and libraries
*Search large databases
*Locate other researchers
*Post queries
*Join in computer chat and lecture sessions
 
You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from Canada in many sources at local, provincial, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most information is available at no cost.
 
The web site of the Library and Archives Canada contains the index to the 1871 census of Ontario and the index to the Canadian Expeditionary Force service records from World War I. The address is
