Do you have old photographs? Have you documented your family's history in the area? Is there a box of mementos in your attic or basement that you are not sure about? Are you part of a current or former community group or club wanting to save and share your history? If you or your family live in or have lived in the City of Kawartha Lakes or your community group or club is based in the City of Kawartha Lakes, we would love to add your bits and pieces of history to our Community Archives! Please contact Lindsay Reference Services to discuss what you want to donate or bring it with you on a visit to the library and speak with Reference staff. |
