Gravenhurst
Archives
Appointments please call 705-687-3382 or submit your email inquiry.
The Gravenhurst Archive is a repository
of historical material relating to the Gravenhurst area. Most is
on paper, including newspaper and magazine articles, photographs,
memorabilia, deeds, bills of sale.
Newspapers and census records are on microfilm, available on application
to a librarian, for access via our reader-printer. Displays are
changed regularly in a case on the second floor. Access to items
in the repository may be obtained by completing an enquiry form,
available from a Librarian.
Volunteers staff the Archive, and the results of
your enquiry will be sent to you by email or regular mail, or arrangements
will be made for an appointment. There is no fixed charge. We operate
with a small Town grant, plus the facilities of the library, income
from donations, and from sales of two books, which we have published.
The first is out of print, and the second, The Gilded Cage, German
Prisoner of War Camp 20, price $25, and is almost out of print,
with about 20 copies remaining. A second edition, with additional
material and a higher price is expected in May 2003.
We are always interested in materials or information
in your possession that may not already be part of the Archive.
Please allow us to review them, with the option of seeking a copy,
or their donation to the Archive. The Library also has available,
for circulation or reference, a collection of books about Gravenhurst
and Muskoka, to which a Librarian can direct you.
