The photo archive includes images, in more than 15,000 subject categories, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada and the world. In 1892, Toronto was a bustling city, with a population of 180,000 people and six newspapers fiercely competing for readers.

Happy New Year! This will sadly be my last post on the starchives. Don’t worry, this account will continue to post but I'm moving on.
I started running this account more than 5 years ago as a passion project and I’m so proud of all I’ve been able to share here. I loved digging up the photos and stories I've shared but my favourite part was when followers recognized family, friends or themselves. The stories from the people in these photos; they are what make Toronto great.
These are a few of my favourite photos from over the years. It’s been a joy sharing Toronto history with you! ❤️
