Important Notices

Investigating a life in history can be one of the most fascinating ways to look at the past. Biographies are currently very popular and can be found on the Internet, on television, or in print. If you have been bitten by the biography bug, then there is no better place than the National Archives of Canada to find information on your favourite Canadian from the past.

You will find the names of several interesting Canadians listed below. Some of them may be more well known to you for their efforts in the Great War, such as William "Billy" Bishop, the flying ace, and John McCrae, the poet of "In Flanders Fields." Others participated in the First World War, but left their mark on Canadian history later in their lives. Click on the links to find out more about what the National Archives holds in its collections on these Canadians. If you have a particular person in mind who is not on the list, go directly to our on-line catalogue to explore descriptions of our collections.
