The Archives

Archives

The Archives at the Georgina Pioneer Village is comprised of records created by the councils of the former townships of Georgina and North Gwillimbury, as well as the Village of Sutton. These records date back from 1850 to about 1970, and include council minutes, petitions, by-laws, account books, general correspondence, assessment and collector rolls, and various other documents created by the previous municipal councils.

The Archives also contain a large number of personal family documents, including land records (deeds, maps and plans), photographs, scrapbooks, bibles, diaries, letters, and related ephemera. The records of many former clubs, groups and businesses can also be found here.

Book Archives

The reference collection contains published material relevant to Georgina, news clippings, scrapbooks, family trees and histories, as well as family files compiled by members of the Georgina Historical Society since its inception 40 years ago.
