Hours & Announcements

Stratford-Perth Archives Reading Room is open for drop-in research 

Tuesday to Friday from 10AM until 4PM

We welcome drop-in visitors during these hours. We encourage you to come in and discuss your research with staff, or set up future appointments. You will likely be able to access microfilm and local history books but you will not have access to original records stored in the Collections Room without an appointment.

Stratford-Perth Archives Reading Room is also open for research by appointment 

Monday to Saturday from 10AM until 4PM

All appointments should be made at least one week in advance. Appointments on Mondays and Saturdays may need more than a week's notice to ensure staff availability. When booking your appointment, staff will conduct a detailed reference interview with you, via phone or email, to identify records relevant to your research. Materials will be brought to the Reading Room on the morning of your visit and will be waiting at your work station when you arrive.

All researchers are encouraged to contact Archives staff via email or telephone to discuss their research goals and/or to set up an appointment. Archives staff can be reached at (519) 271-0531 ext. 259 or by clicking on the email link below.

If you would like to discuss a possible donation, please contact the Archivist by calling (519) 271-0531 ext. 259 or click here to email us to set up a meeting.
