[ILL-L] Need Toronto Star microfilm for for Feb 1892

[Mary Lehane]

Hello Linda,
We do not have the microfilm of the "Evening Star", its earlier name. 
We, like many other Canadian libraries, have the digital version of this 
paper, "Pages of the Past", but the holdings begin with 1894.
Here is a note from the online version, which indicates that 1) the 
paper began in November 1892, and 2) the early issues might not be 
available anywhere.
> 	*Why are there no results for dates from November 1892 through 
> December 1893?*
> 	These issues are not currently in our database (with the exception of 
> the first issue of The Star on November 3, 1892). Unfortunately, when 
> the original microfilming was completed, these issues could not be 
> located. If you know of the whereabouts of these issues, please 
> contact The Toronto Star or Micromedia to help complete the archives 
> of The Toronto Star. For contact information please click here.

You may want to have your patron re-check either the name of the 
newspaper or the date.
