Archives

The Newmarket Historical Society Archives are housed in the Elman Campbell Museum. The Archives contain thousands of records, including:

• Over 2,500 images of Newmarket ranging from tintype photographs, original photographs, postcards, drawings, and posters
• Five official documents of the town from 1805 pertaining to land grants and indentures
• One of the most intact collections of a local newspaper, The Era, in the province of Ontario
• Early maps, books, family records and histories, business histories, and town memorabilia.

The Newmarket Historical Society Archives are currently undergoing an exciting Restoration Project, to rebuild the Archives into a fully serviceable and easy to navigate collection. The Archives will be closed for regular access until the restoration is complete, however special requests for research will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
