Welcome to the home page for the University Health Network Archives. Our mission is to identify, acquire, preserve and provide access to records, regardless of format, documenting the historical development and achievements of our member institutions (Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital and Princess Margaret Hospital), as well as their predecessor bodies.
The Archives have three separate locations and are open to both external and internal researchers by appointment only.
Please contact the Archivist ahead of time to discuss your research needs and make an appointment.
All researchers are required to read our User Policies and Procedures and complete a Researcher Registration Form. Some of our records are restricted due to the personal information they contain. Your registration package includes our policy on access to restricted or sensitive material, our guide for the proper citation of archival sources, and a Copy Request Form should you require it. During your appointment the Archivist will be available to help you find what you are looking for.
Our Collection
The types of materials that we collect are in a wide range of formats, including textual documents, photographs and architectural drawings. Apart from unpublished original materials, we also have various hospital publications such as annual reports, newsletters and nursing student yearbooks. In addition to our current member hospitals, records also document Grace Homeopathic Hospital, the Ontario Cancer Insitute and the work of noted cardiovascular surgeon W.G. Bigelow.
Finding aids are available on site.
Online Descriptions
of our material are available through ARCHEION,
Ontario's Archival Information Network. Search ARCHEION using "University
Health Network" in the Repository Field.
