Toronto District School Board Archives

The TDSB's collection is very impressive: there some real gems in the collection, including student record cards and the complete records of the Home and School Association. There are, however, few finding aids. One was published in 1977 that is actually pretty good.

University of Leuven, KADOC Documentation and Research Center for Religion, Culture, and Society

An interfaculty centre that focuses on the evolving interaction between religion, culture and society in Flanders - in its Belgian and international context - from 1750 onwards. The history of education occupies an important place in KADOC's continuously growing archival and library collections and in the research the Centre carries out.   The main focus is on the history of Catholic education in Flanders / Belgium, in its international context.  KADOC conserves a rich collection of archives that are valuable for historians of education.

ODIS not only provides basic information about those archives, but also about the organisations and persons that created them (authority records).  Information is structured according to international standards (e.g. ISAD(G), ISAAR(CPF).
