The Archives of the Law Society of Ontario was established in 1982 to ensure the preservation of the heritage of the legal profession in Ontario. The Archives serves as the repository for all records of permanent value to the Law Society of Ontario. The Archives accepts donations from external sources of material significant to the legal profession in Ontario. In addition, the Archives acts as an information resource centre to Law Society staff, the legal profession and the public. Since May of 2009, selected digital images from the Archives’ photograph collection have been made available on Flickr.com. The images in our photostream represent a small sample of the over 100,000 photographs in our collection. We encourage the public to post a comment, add a descriptive tag, or share images with friends and colleagues.

    Interesting. Thanks for letting us know. We will try to get a copy for the archives.

    Reggie was turned out by the Law Society, employed in the late 1960's as a clerk in the Legal Department of the City of Toronto. Had tales of working as a railway porter on transcontinental trains and of racial slurs against him by a fellow solicitor who became a mayor of Toronto.
