ThunderBay.wiki is a free online encyclopedia of people, places, and things in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. Built on MediaWiki, the same software that powers Wikipedia, it offers sourced, narrative biographies of deceased residents in the familiar Wikipedia style: dockworkers and dance teachers, miners and mayors, homemakers and homesteaders — not just the mayors, but everyone the record allows us to recover.
The long-term goal:
- a complete, fully interlinked record of every deceased person who lived in the Thunder Bay area, citing every available primary and secondary source.
- each biography cross-referenced to its FamilySearch Person ID (PID), anchoring Thunder Bay's residents in the global shared family tree, and structured as machine-readable data so genealogists, historians, and researchers can search, browse, and build upon it freely.

Every man has two deaths, when he is buried in the ground and the last time someone says his name. In some ways men can be immortal.
