Historic photos from around TorontoThere are a number of great web sites that provide historic photos from around Toronto. As I was collecting them for an interactive historic map of the city I realized that it was also interesting to find photos that were taken around the current time of the year. How much snow was there at the end of March in 1916, for example?And so this page was born. It will always show a collection of photos from around Toronto over the last few weeks. You can also see all the historic photos for a given neighbourhood. A subset of the photos have also been arranged by subject. Be sure to subscribe to the RSS feed here for regular updates. Tweet |
The next update will be available tomorrow, including North Toronto 91 years ago ( in 1933 ).
