Presented by Mr. BARLOW CUMBERLAND, M.A., President and Delegate. 
The Ontario Historical Society is glad to be able to report to the 
Royal Society of Canada continued progress in its work in the Province 
of Ontario. It is the central society of the affiliated local Historical 
Societies established in most of the districts of the Province, from Pres- 
cott in the east to Fort William, Thunder Bay, in the west. Its Head- 
quarters are in the Department of Education at Toronto, and the Minister 
of Education of Ontario is its Honorary President Under a special 
Act passed by the Legislature of Ontario each of the Local Societies 
becomes, by affiliation, an incorporated body entitled to hold property, 
such as Historical Libraries and Museums The President of each 
Society becomes ex-officio a Vice President, and an additional member 
of the Council of seven elected by the members of the Ontario Society, 
and the Delegates from the Local Societies, at the Annual Meeting. 
The scope of the Ontario Historical Society is to promote in every way 
study and research in Canadian History, not only in this Province, 
but throughout the Dominion, the collection of local memorabilia of 
early settlements, and the preservation of historic memorials. 
The Annual Report for the year 1909 and Volume IX of the “ Papers 
and Records of the Ontario Historical Society ” are herewith presented. 
We shall be glad, on application to exchange with any Historical 
Society or Literary or Library Association not now on our list. 
During the past year, in addition to advancing the interests of 
our Affiliated Societies, the Central Society has devoted much atten- 
tion to the recovery and restoration of visible evidences of early days 
in various parts of the Province. 
The Dominion Government has been strongly urged to repair 
Fort Malden at Amherstburg, and set it apart as an historic site.
