Archives

Do we have your history?

Gravenhurst Archives holds the history of Gravenhurst including West Gravenhurst and the former townships of Morrison, Muskoka and Ryde.

The Archives holds over 500 collections provided by donors including

• The Cecil Porter Fonds
• The Henry Fry Fonds
• Gravenhurst High School Fonds
• The Opera House and Summer Theatre Fonds
• The Lloyd Stamp Fonds

Over 120,000 photographs and documents have been digitized to a fully searchable database housed on Library Computers. The extensive collection of Gravenhurst newspapers exists on microfilm.

We receive new items and collections weekly -- family trees, photographs, artifacts, yearbooks, letters, deeds, all of which are protected for future generations.
