The Ontario Name Index (TONI) reached 1-million entries last fall. This is a remarkable milestone but there are many more items that could be added with a larger team of indexers preparing the materials.
A larger TONI indexing team can help us make more information available such as the following:
» Diaries and letters from the Cobourg area
» Information about visitors to a hotel in Kirkland Lake
» Road Petitions from Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Counties
» Archival information from the Ottawa Valley
» Obituaries from London- Middlesex
» Documents from Cornwall
» Newspapers from an old Toronto area village
and, By-Laws and assessment rolls from villages in the Peterborough area
Everyone is welcome to be a TONI indexer and you can do it in the comfort of your own home. You will need your own computer, the software to read pdfs (downloaded for free), and you will need to be comfortable working with Excel.
If you’re interested in helping get this information online, contact the Provincial Office at provoffice@ogs.on.ca, and we’ll connect you with the project.
