The HSO Blog has been live for a year! We launched this platform as an extension of our objective to preserve and increase public knowledge of the history of Ottawa, including its people and places. Our vision was to create a space where the history of the Ottawa area could be shared through an engaging blog platform.

Thank you to all who have contributed and shared their interest in the blog!

Be sure to catch up on past posts and other great HSO publications found under the publications section of our website.

As always, if you are interested in writing for the blog, please get in contact with us by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. We are always excited to see what fascinating stories make their way to us and can’t wait to see what this year brings!
