HOW TO ADD YOUR HISTORY TO THE MUSEUM & ARCHIVES

Statement on Language in Description
Items can be photographs, personal papers and records, clothing and textiles, uniforms, logo items, business memorabilia, local sports, community organizations, church information or art, etc… but we also look forward to adding content to our oral history projects and video content archives. Your stories shared through objects, photographs, words, images, and art are what make the museum a key resource for our community, now and for the future. It’s our history in one place.
Contact us at info@klmuseumarchives.ca or give us a call at 705-324-3404 to discuss your donation.
