Hambo Posted 19 December , 2016 Share Posted 19 December , 2016 The Canadian Archives are in the process of digitalizing their service files and the last time I looked they were up to "L" which means it'll be worth checking from time to time as they're getting close to "P" now Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
