WHS Volumes

 

Waterloo Historical Society Annual Volumes in the GSR

 

The WHS has published an annual volume of historical articles since 1913.

 

A complete set of the WHS annual volumes is available for consultation in the GSR.  The earlier volumes have been bound with several years in each book.  Please be aware that the volume does not correspond to the year in which it was published.  For example, the 2004 volume was published in 2005.

 

Indexing for the annual volumes is available until 1994 through the following ways:

 

  • Card catalogue in the GSR – the first number of drawers are the original index for the annual volumes, covering the years 1913 to 1988.  References to WHS annual volume articles will have the letters WHS, the year and page numbers.

  • The next indexing project was a book called Waterloo County to 1972- an annotated bibliography,  (call number MGSR 971.344 Bloom) which was published in 1993. This bibliography serves as an index to the annual volumes from 1913 – 1991. The entries for these articles are indicated by the bold heading Waterloo Historical Society, followed by a year, volume number and page. The bibliography also provides access to items in many archives in Waterloo Region. The location code for KPL is OKIT and for the WHS is OKITW This bibliography is also available on the WHS computer in the GSR. Please ask library staff for assistance.

  • One update of the bibliography was printed in 1996. The Waterloo Regional bibliography update supplement to: Waterloo County to 1972 (call number MGSR 971.344 Bloom 1996) covers the years from 1992 – 1995.

 

Since that time, no indexing of the annual volume has been done. The Table of Contents includes more details about the articles, but there is no subject access available at this time.  Please contact the Local History Librarian for assistance.
