Multicultural History Society of Ontario

The Multicultural History Society of Ontario (MHSO) is a not-for-profit educational institution and archives located in Toronto, Canada. Established in 1976, the MHSO collects, preserves, and makes available irreplaceable records of our histories of migration and ethnicity. It undertakes educational programming to increase appreciation of the importance of diversity to the development and ongoing vitality of the province.

Through its efforts to preserve the records and promote the histories of migration and ethnicity, the Society strives to increase access to the products of our diverse heritage, heighten the attention paid to context and complexity in accounts of our past, and create a deeper understanding of the commonalities of our various historical experiences.
