In the fall, The Peterborough Examiner (in connection with its move to downtown Ashburnham) donated its archives, research library and photographic collections to the Trent Valley Archives. This is the largest donation of archives we have received since accepting the land records of Peterborough County. We are currently looking for volunteers to help process these materials. We will be holding 2 orientation days on site to familiarize volunteers with the collection: Monday February 13th and Monday February 27th at 10am. Please contact us at 705-745-4404 or admin@trentvalleyarchives.com if you are interested in helping out. For more information about this exciting acquisition, click here.
