ABOUT US
Our Mandate:
The Port Hope Archives exists to collect and preserve archival materials which illustrate the growth and development of the Municipality of Port Hope, or which pertain in whole or in part to activities within the geographic boundaries of the Municipality of Port Hope.
Established as The Ganaraska Region Archives in 1994 and renamed the Port Hope Archives in 2005, the Archives has been serving the Municipality of Port Hope for over 20 years. Supported by dedicated volunteers and generous members, the Archives provides access to archival materials related to Port Hope’s history. An archivist is on staff to catalogue the collection and assist researchers.
The collection is comprised of materials donated to the Archives to preserve for future generations and to be used by anyone interested in Port Hope and Hope Township’s history. Archival materials include photographs, ledgers, documents, journals and maps. Researchers are welcome to visit the Archives and use the reading room to conduct research on their home, family or the local history. A reference computer is available to search the internet, local databases and the Archives’ collection.
A user fee charge is applicable to non-members, and no cost to members of the Port Hope Archives.
