Collections

As the official repository for the municipalities of Alnwick/Haldimand, Brighton, and Cramahe, we hold government records from the past 200 years, including:

  • Council minutes and bylaws
  • Assessment and collector rolls
  • Birth, marriage and death registrations

Over 300 individuals and organizations have donated items dating from the early 19th century to the present day. Our private sector collections include land records, business and organization records, family papers, photographs, letters, newspapers, artwork, artefacts, textiles, furniture, and more!
