Elgin Archive Library

The Elgin County Archives is a great asset to anyone interested in our local history. The vision and effort it has taken to build the Archives is well appreciated by the Elgin Historical Society. We offer our thanks and support in their continuing work.

The Archives have digitized many images, newspapers and books. Here we present some of the books. As always the organization of the material is an ongoing process.

Enjoy exploring our history.
