Urbanizing Kitchener: A Historical Geospatial Perspective
This initiative aims to provide scholars, researchers, and the public with a visual directory, index, and account of Kitchener's residential, business, and ind- ustrial development.
This project takes decades of digitized Vernon city directories (years 1901+), cleanses, collates and geo-locates over a million searchable individual entries using a map platform. Users can filter, view and download historical facts about Kitchener's residents and businesses, offering endless discovery and research opportunities. Not interested in mapping? View the tabular database instead. Learn more about this initiative.
