Did you know the Whitby Archives has a variety of primary documents that can be used to help us understand Whitby's past? Located on the 2nd floor of the Central Library, the Archives contains genealogical information, scrapbooks, newspaper articles, photographs, correspondence, and other exciting tidbits from history. We are working hard to make the local history collections in the Whitby Archives more accessible to our researchers. Throughout 2012, we will be integrating the Archives collections with the Library's online catalogue. What does this mean? In addition to using the online catalogue to find books, dvds/cds, and magazines, you will also be able to use the online catalogue to search our archival holdings. If you are interested in something specific like a person or a group or team, try clicking on the Archives Finding Aids page in the Local History section of our website. We will be uploading detailed descriptions of collection contents there. Have a look at our newest addition, the May Irwin collection, here and here. |
