The Canadian War Cry was first published on November 1, 1884. Since that date The War Cry has gone through many changes in format, size and design culminating in the current magazine format and name change to the Salvationist. With the exception of just a few issues,  copies of all the War Crys published in Canada are in the archives.

The Archives is pleased to offer on line  50 years of the Canadian War Crys which have now been archived in PDF format. Issues for the complete years 1950 to 1963 and 1888 to 1890, as well as random issues from 1884 to 1968 are currently available.  Also on line are the 2008 and 2009 issues of THE SALVATIONIST which are word searchable. Gradually other issues of The War Cry and The Salvationist will be added, as time permits, and made available for viewing and research .

Most issues are word searchable. However, a number of issues have been scanned from our micro-films and although readable and downloadable are not at this time word searchable. 

The archived War Crys /Salvationist can be searched by checking the box for ‘War Cry’, ‘Salvationist’ or ‘all’ and then typing in a date in the ‘date’( i.e.1884 )field  box or by typing a word i.e. Brown in the ‘word’ field box in the search menu. Then click on the search box, year and PDF file.
