Anybody got access to a Toronto 1955 phone book and/or voting list?

1. that got me curious, remembering when libraries had them

and found this link that might help: http://www.torontofamilyhistory.org/toronto.html

Perhaps someone at the genealogical society listed there could help??

2. Have you tried any public library in Toronto like emailing or

calling them? They often keep telephone books archived or at least a microfiche of the pages. I have been able to find ancient phone books in the public libraries of other cities in the USA. Don't know about Canada.

3. Their public libraries or municipal archives would probably have access to those

The phone book would be more likely than the voting list (that might still be sealed, like census records), and between their library system, municipal archives and some of the universities someone would have to have something.

4. I'm 2700 km away and don't know anybody in town

Their geneological society is likely going to lend a hand.

5. Doh, yeah. They'd probably be your ideal bet.

Any genealogical society in Toronto would be ridiculously well-connected with those other sources.

6. A connection in Ottawa came up with a name

I'd still like to cross reference

7. They came up with the phone book. Could still use the voters' list...

...but my Ottawa contact may come through with that.
