The Canadian War Museum released four new research guides to help you research those in Canadian military history.
The eight-page guides are about:
·         Royal Canadian Navy, 1910-1919, 1939-1945, and the Merchant Navy, 1939-1945
·         Canadians in the Air, 1914-1945, 1939-1945
·         Canadian Expeditionary Force, 1914-1919, and the Canadian Army, 1939-1945
·         Canadian Women in Uniform, 1914-1919, 1941-1945
The guides include information about training, promotions, medals, injuries and medical treatment, graves and memorials, and the context of a person's war service.

To access the guides go to: https://tinyurl.com/yazffqsh
Original url:

Additionally the Museum has an online catalogue allowing users to search both the Canadian War Museum and Canadian Museum of History. This is updated periodically. 
Original url:

Included is "Democracy at War Canadian Newspapers and the Second World War which is fully text searchable of 144,000 newspaper clippings  

This website is available in English and  French. To access the French click on Francais in the upper right corner.

  1. The time I spent here this morning was so rewarding -- found lots of book blogs to follow, and I am so thrilled about that captured letter archive being digitized. I wish I could run over there and help them!

  2. I'm so pleased to hear that...it's hard for me not to get lost in the book blogs, or so many of the others that I find each week.

    As for the captured letter archive, it's so great to hear that they weren't destroyed and will be released. I wonder how much heartache was caused by these letters never reaching their destination so long ago. Families waiting for news of loved ones, proposals never answered, wives telling husbands about the birth of their children..or the loss of family. So many would pass never knowing.

    Publishing these so many years after may at least give some answers.

    Thanks for your comments, always appreciated.
