Ottawa University Newspapers? My great-grandfather graduated in 1915. I want to find his picture if there is one. Can you help me?
Answer
If you go to the Ottawa University Portal and go to the Myers Library Online Page. On the right hand side of the page you will see a link to the "Archives and Collections" page. Click on it. You do not need to login to view it or any content in it. It is open to the public. Now go to the link for the Ottawa Campus Online and click on it. It will be on the right hand side of the Ottawa Archives page. Click on Filter by Publication type and click on the Ottawa Campus Newspaper. Under publication type you will see "Year" and go to the show more button and click on it. You will see the year 1915. Click on it and you will be able to search all the newspapers for 1915. I would however suggest that if you need a picture of your grandfather, it might be easier to find if you go to the Ottawa University Catalogues 1872-1970. They are digitized and each would have pictures of students that attended OU that can be found in them. if you go to the 1915 Ottawa University Catalogue or those for four years previously you might find his picture.
