Background: Carleton Place Herald newspaper series

The notices in this nine volume collection were extracted from microfilmed copies of the Carleton Place Herald and Lanark Herald newspapers by Dolly Allen and Joan McKay.  The collection was assembled, edited, and Introductions written by John Patton. All three are members of the Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society who volunteered their work to the Society.  

The Herald was published in Carleton Place, Ontario, Canada. For the most part the notices that were published by the newspaper provide information regarding local families --  however they also sporadically included news of births, marriages and deaths of members of local families who had migrated away from the area. 

Every entry includes key information about the event, plus the date of issue of the newspaper that the notice appears in, as well as the page and column the item is on.  The introduction for each volume records where the microfilm of, or original copies of newspapers are located. 

Though these books provide essential information about the event on its own, they are especially helpful when you decide to access the complete newspaper article/notice on microfilm or online scanned image of the newspaper. Because the issue, page and column are provided in these books, you can go directly to the microfilm page that you are interested in, instead of searching through hundreds of pages. The same is true of locating articles and notices in online scanned newspapers (this newspaper is not scanned as of yet, 2016). The reason is that automated indexing (OCR) of digital images of digitized newspapers is notoriously incomplete because of poor quality originals and print types that are not completely recognized by modern OCR.  Using these books you can quickly and easily go to the correct microfilmed or scanned page where the notice appears.
