Fonds documents the role the Toronto Stock Exchange played in the development of Canadian industry and the growth of the Canadian economy. Through the establishment of the TSE and other Exchanges, a formalized structure in which companies could finance their operations was created. The fonds chronicles the corporate and administrative activities of the TSE, the Toronto Clearing House Ltd. and the Standard Stock and Mining Exchange in establishing such a formal structure. It also provides information on thousands of companies listed on the Exchange, especially resource industries. These records offer insights into publically traded businesses, their individual fortunes as well as larger economic boom and bust cycles. The fonds also contains photographic portraits of F. Gordon Osler and Avern Pardoe, Toronto, Ontario.

Toronto Stock Exchange : The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE) is Canada's largest stock exchange. It is a nonprofit organization owned and operated by its member brokerage firms. As a self-regulatory organization operating under the authority of the Ontario Securities Commission, the TSE provides trading facilities and monitors the trading to comply with provincial securities legislation. Much of its revenue is acquired through fees paid by its member firms. Public companies also pay fees to have their shares listed for trading and then pay an annual sustaining fee to the TSE.

The TSE was established in 1852 by a group of Toronto businessmen, who formed an association of brokers to create a market in industrial securities. It began to distribute its first weekly authorized list of stocks to Canadian and American newspapers in 1861, and in 1878 it was formally incorporated by a Special Act of the Ontario Legislature. In 1881, the TSE moved to its first permanent trading headquarters and became linked with the New York Stock Exchange by Phelps ticker-tape machines. A few years later, TSE stock data was transmitted internationally via cable to London where it was published regularly. In 1899, the TSE secured a charter for the Toronto Clearing House Ltd., an organization to facilitate the exchange of stock certificates and money between the various member houses. It amalgamated in 1934 with the Standard Stock and Mining Exchange, a Toronto competitor formed in 1899 by a group of traders interested in the stocks of new mining companies. Three years later the TSE moved to its new home at 234 Bay Street.

During the 1950's, the TSE topped all other exchanges in North America in volumes of shares traded. However, with market prosperity came the need for tighter regulatory control. In 1958, TSE listed companies were required to disclose any corporate changes affecting the price of their shares. In 1965, the TSE was the first Canadian exchange to establish a Market Surveillance Department to enforce more stringent disclosure policies for listed companies. The TSE moved from its Bay Street location to facilities in First Canadian Place in 1983.
