Finding Aids

If you do know the name of the specific fonds that you are interested in, go directly to the full-text Finding Aids.

Remember: Our mandate specifies that we collect and preserve historic materials generally relating to Peterborough and the surrounding counties of Victoria, Haliburton, Hastings, Northumberland and Durham. We provide primary, unpublished research materials such as:

diaries,
letters,
photographs
legal records
court records
literary records
birth, marriage and death records
maps
newspapers
surveyors papers
store ledgers

...and much more!

Isolated

A Caveat... We occasionally receive single items, maps, drawings, individual letters or very small groupings of letters and documents. As these do not comprise fonds, they are minimally processed and described. There are many important records and documents received in this manner and researchers should not overlook them. Please be aware that these are only listed separately and are not reflected in our "Index to Finding Aids" or in the list of "Subject Guides." The list of these Isolated Manuscripts is available here.
