Hours & Announcements

Stratford-Perth Archives Reading Room is open for in-person research by appointment from Tuesday to Saturday from 10AM until 3PM. We ask that all appointments be made at least one week in advance.

Prior to your appointment, staff will conduct a detailed reference interview over the phone or via email to identify records relevant to your research. The material you request will be pulled prior to your visit and will be waiting when you arrive.

During Reading Room hours, we also welcome drop-in visitors. We encourage you to come in and discuss your research with staff, or set up future appointments. You may be able to access microfilm and other reading room materials but you will not have access to records stored in the Collections Room without an appointment. Researchers who have booked an appointment will have priority use of the microfilm reader / desk space.

All researchers are encouraged to contact Archives staff via email or telephone to discuss their research goals and to set up an appointment.  Archives staff can be reached at (519) 271-0531 ext. 259 or click here to email us.

If you would like to discuss a possible donation to the Archives’ collections, please contact the Archivist by calling (519) 271-0531 ext. 250 or click here to email the Archivist to set up a meeting. 

Please note that the Archives is closed on statutory holidays and on Saturdays of long weekends.
