These two Historical Newspaper titles provide valuable insight into the political and social life of Canada during the 19th and 20th Centuries. ProQuest Historical Newspapers: The Globe and Mail (1844-2009)

The Globe and Mail is Canada’s second largest circulation daily newspaper, and is typically cited as being “Canada’s Newspaper of Record”. The Globe was founded in 1844 by Scottish immigrant George Brown, a liberal who later became a Father of the Confederation. In 1936, The Globe merged with The Mail and Empire and became The Globe and Mail. While the paper was largely known as a general conservative voice of the business establishment, it did have some liberal sway; an editorial in a 1967 issue coined the phrase “The State has no place in the bedrooms of the nation.”

The Globe and Mail, as Canada’s National Newspaper of Record, is a great compliment to the Historical New York Times.

ProQuest Historical Newspapers: Toronto Star (1894-2011)

The Toronto Star is Canada’s largest daily newspaper and is renowned in North America and around the world for its award-winning journalism, which has included the reporting of some of the world’s most- famous writers, including Ernest Hemingway and Canadian author Pierre Berton. The Toronto Star, which first appeared in 1892, is also well-known for its unique tradition of public advocacy that is based on the belief that a progressive newspaper should contribute to the advancement of society through pursuit of social, economic and political reforms. Throughout its history, the Toronto Star has championed a host of social programs aimed at creating a fair, safe and healthy society for every citizen. These measures included unemployment insurance, old age pensions, universal health care, minimum wages, and workers’ compensation. These causes live today as core values in the hearts and minds of most Canadians.

The Historical Toronto Star provides a great historical counter balance to The Globe and Mail. Historical Globe and Mail (1844-2009) Historical Toronto Star (1894-2011)
