The Peterborough Museum and Archives is designated as a 'Category A Collecting Institution' under the terms of the Canadian Cultural Property Export/Import Act. This means that we collect, preserve and make cultural property accessible to the public through exhibitions, research and online.
All visits to the archives require an appointment. Call us today to book your visit.
