TOC Archives

The Archives of the Toronto Ornithological Club are held by the Royal Ontario Museum Library and Archives in their Special Collections section (SC 83). The Archives includes material from the club founding in 1934 up to the present.

The TOC Archives Inventory describes the holdings in various series, and sub-series and in some cases indexes individual items such as photos and early club papers. Search the inventory for the material that you want and note the series number in the left-hand column, the description and date(s), and the box number in the far right column. For example

SC 83-6-4-2     Development of T.O.C. Pin   2010-2012   Box 21
