The National Library of Canada (NLC) preserves a unique collection of railway advertising dating from the 1880s to the 1950s. A large portion of the collection was compiled and donated to the NLC by Andrew Merrilees. The Merrilees material on this website is supplemented by selected material from the Library's general holdings. Also included are published audio and visual items from the NLC and the National Archives of Canada.
