Patricia, Marj has access at the University of Waterloo library, however she hardly has the *time* to even work on our zillion ongoing projects on TheShipsList, but many University libraries probably have the films, as would Provincial libraries, and of course the National Library in Ottawa. Some public libraries might also have at least some of the Quebec publications on microfilm. Not sure whether the LDS carry Canadian newspapers in their catalogue. Contemporary newspapers are a wonderful source of information, however usually the only passengers named are cabin passengers. Occasionally there will be a "letter of appreciation" to the Captain of a vessel signed by several passengers. The news items are wonderful to read too. We have quite a few years and part years already, with many more years on the back burner http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/vessels.html Sue --
