Serial Collections at TVA
It is likely that many researchers/users of the Trent Valley Archives collection are not aware of the serial collections that are to be found in the Processing Room of TVA. This past summer and fall we decided to make a list of these periodicals in order to make them more accessible.
There are a wide variety of subject areas covered by these journals – local history, genealogy, archive management, architecture, postcards, circus history and company magazines such as Blue Bell (Bell Telephone Co,) and the Imperial Oil Review. Some of these collections are complete; others are incomplete.
Click here view a listing of the titles and volumes available at TVA. Some of these titles also have free online access, so where appropriate we have provided a link.
We hope this will be found useful and will encourage visitors to TVA to peruse these copies.
