Historic archives find new home at Hamilton learning centre

Hamilton’s public school board opened a new, permanent home for its educational archives at the Hill Park Learning Centre on Friday.

The archives contain school memorabilia, artifacts, photographs, yearbooks and documents from Hamilton and Wentworth County schools.

Some of the pieces included in the archive date back to the 1800s.

These school records began in the later part of the 1980s, and pieces were stored in various school spaces until 1998, when they were moved to Vincent Massey School.

A community open house will take place over the weekend for anyone interested in flipping through the pages of the past.
