Unearth local history with the Toronto Time Capsule

TORONTO - March 11, 2015 - PRLog -- TORONTO, ONTARIO, March 11, 2015  – A new Toronto Time Capsule, an online treasure trove of columns, articles and resources brings to life Toronto’s history and offers great tips to build your own family’s history.

“The Toronto Time Capsule is an exciting work in progress,” said Grace Peacock, project manager and editor with Metroland Media. “Just as you’d find fascinating things if you dug up an actual time capsule, it’s our intention to build a collection of stories, old photographs and news articles that can live on to represent the history of our city. We’re adding more to it every day.”

On the site (www.insidetoronto.com/history), readers will find these sections:

- In ‘Flashback’, articles on Toronto heritage news and events.

- In ‘Local Tales’, fascinating columns from Toronto historical associations and expert historians.

- In ‘Genealogy’, insider tips from genealogists and historical resources around Toronto to help you with family research.

As the project grows, so do the opportunities for the citizens of Toronto to contribute.

“We welcome contributions from more of our historical groups and experts, to help create a truly comprehensive historical offering,” Peacock said. “As well, any resident who has a memory or old photo they’d like to share, we’d love to see it.”
