The Archives of Ontario has released online and microfilm versions of the 2009 accrual of Vital Statistics records from the Office of the Registrar General, comprising the 1913 birth, 1928 marriage, and 1938 death indexes and registrations. Consisting of more than 127,000 scanned images, the microfilm and its related finding aids are available at the Archives' Reading Room at 134 Ian Macdonald Boulevard in Toronto, Ontario, on York University's Keele Street campus, and at many local libraries. The Vital Statistics listings on the Archives of Ontario website at www.archives.gov.on.ca also includes the new reels.
The 2010 accrual of Vital Statistics records, consisting of the 1914 birth, 1929 marriage, and 1939 death indexes and registrations, are currently being scanned and the resulting 130,000 images checked for clarity and completeness. These records will become available online in a searchable format in 2011. The April 2011 accrual of the 1915 birth, 1930 marriage, and 1940 death registrations will be available later in the year.
