documents of the history of the

Those who used the cramped
quarters of the past archives, will
be amazed at the new facility. There
is a large reading room where re-
search can be done with a view
through a Targe window out to the
front courtyard of the museum.

shelves help increase the normal ca-
pacity of the room many times
over.
Director Claus Breede says,
" While the basis of the archival
collection remains the material
turned over by the Huron Historical
Society, the new archives is much
larger than the original collection.
Now that the county has a first
class home for paper records,
records kept elsewhere in the prov-
ince are finding their way back to
Huron."
Staff has been busy at the ar-
chives putting in 780 volumes of
old registry books containing early
land registry information on
shelves that line one wall of the
large room and extend almost at the
ceiling.
Those coming to the museum to.
do research regularly will get a re-
search pass. They will sign in at
the front desk, be given a number
and taken to the research room.
Breede says this security is needed
as people have been known to re-
move valuable documents or cut
pictures out of books.
The research room has a comput-
et system which has an index of all
the data bases, with a different data
base for each of the collections,
municipal record,,school records,
etc. The researcher will be given a
crash course in how to use the
computer to find the information
needed
So what happens if you want to
research the history of your family
or community? How do you possi-
bly find your way through the tons
of paper in the archives?
The first thing you do is contact
the museum and staff can talk to
you about the project and how to
go about it. The staff can highlight
parts of the archival collection that
might help.
The museum staff doesn't have
the time, however, to do the re-
search for you. The museum gets
many lcuers from people requesting
information for family trees, but
can't do the work. Sometime in the
future it is hoped there might be a
volunteer staff to take on part of
this job..
Trying to simplify the finding of
information in tons of paper has
been one of the tasks that has kept
employees busy. Staff has spent
about 15 man-years on sorting the
archives to see for sure what is
there and in finding ways to make
the collection easily useable by the
public and the job isn't halfway
done yet. -
Most of the original Historical
Society collection is now on com-
puter and materials returned by
UWO came with a system, but it
was a system for a very big collec-
tion and the staff is trying to sim-
plify it.
Eventually Brcedc hopes the com-
puter system will not only identify
what is in each file box in the en-
tire collection, but give a few notes
on what the material is about.
The museum is also looking for
volunteers to help out with this
job.
Photographs are an item the mu-
seum would like to have, especially
if they involve events, or things.
Pictures of unidentified• people
aren't so worthwhile unless they il-
lustrate something of the lifestyle
of the era.
. Where possible everyone in the
picture should be'identified. The ar-
chives is particularly interested in
any photo .of buildings, events,
ships or those that illsutrate the
lifestyle of the people in Huron.
Breede cautions that he hopes
people won't be angry if staff decide
the contribution they want to give
wouldn't be realtive to the archival
-collection. On the other hand he
says, some things people might.

think arc junk, might be treasures
to the museum staff.
Many people would think the
whole room full of old papers is
"junk", .but for those seeking to
get in touch with the past, the new
archives provide an, invaluable re-
search tool. These papers hold
scores of secrets of the histories of
pioneer families and gpmmunities.
While the collection has grown
by leaps and bounds,-Breede says
the museum is still looking for
more contributions including pho-
tographs, private papers, old family
diaries, old business records, etc.
