Bruce County’s residents can help to preserve history by having their photos copied by Bruce County Archives Staff and the Bruce County Historical Society members at the local legions.

"The Archives is climate controlled," says Museum Curator, Barbara Ribey, "and retains personal diaries, newspaper articles, County documents, photograph and letters from the people of the Bruce in addition to copies of all official documents. The Archives contains the history of the region and is very important for future generations."
