    Online Holdings Notes

    The [Windsor] Collegiate Era is a newspaper within the newspaper: Border Cities Era.

    When the issues were bound, the front and back covers (and the front and back inside covers) were removed, even though they were part of the page numbering. For the most part, pages 1-2 and the last 2 pages (usually pages 15-16 or pages 11-12) are missing. It is likely that less content is missing than would appear at first glance.

    Summarized Online Holdings:

    Border Cities Era 1918: Aug. 24 - 1919: Aug. 14

    Collegiate Era Vol. 1: no. 1 (1918: Nov. 30) - Vol. 1: no. 29 (1919: June 24)

    Subsequent Title

    The Western Mercury (Sandwich) may continue the British Canadian. The two newspapers shared a business office. On page 2 of the Feb. 25, 1858 issue of the Western Mercury, the editor writes “All parties indebted to this office for the 1st vol., British Canadian or for printing, or advertising, are requested to make immediate payment.” The newspapers also share the same motto: Our country’s welfare first, and then, we stand by honest party men. Furthermore, the numbering of the Western Mercury seems to continue the numbering of the British Canadian. However, the two newspapers have different editors, different political perspectives (based on content in existing issues), and were published on different days.

    British Canadian: the Western Mercury may be a continuation of the British Canadian. The two newspapers shared a business office. On page 2 of the Feb. 25, 1858 issue, the editor writes “All parties indebted to this office for the 1st vol., British Canadian or for printing, or advertising, are requested to make immediate payment.” The newspapers also share the same motto: Our country’s welfare first, and then, we stand by honest party men.
