Cover of the Canadian newspaper Le Devoir. January 10, 1910.

The newspaper archives in Canada offer an unparalleled view into its multicultural heritage and expansive geography. Genealogists benefit from thousands of publications in English, French, and other immigrant languages documenting settlers, Indigenous communities, and urban and rural life. Local newspapers include obituaries, wedding and birth announcements, and community news often missing from government records. Coverage of immigration waves, homesteading, and social movements makes newspapers vital for tracing family narratives. Whether researching Acadian families in Nova Scotia, Métis roots in Manitoba, or Italian immigrants in Toronto, Canadian newspapers provide a vivid chronicle of lives and legacies across the nation.
