Newspapers.com yesterday added the Toronto Star Weekly, 1910-1973, to its Canadian collection that now holds 375 publications.
The Star Weekly magazine was a weekend publication. According to Wikipedia, the magazine was read widely in rural Canada where delivery of daily newspapers was infrequent.
The Star Weekly began with 16 pages, and at its peak in the 1960s it had more than 100 pages.
It’s not as big as the Toronto Star, a daily newspaper, but I did find one family wedding announcement in the Star Weekly, a couple of mentions of my father’s cousin who played football for the Ottawa Roughriders, and an article about my great-grandfather’s brother.
