The Arnprior-McNab Braeside Archives has been highly successful in grant applications involving three projects.
The combined value of the grants totals $67 000 in funding support.
Archives Board Treasurer Art Turnewitsch says despite all the activity, the facility should be more active in community outreach as historic materials are often trashed when estates are liquidated.
Board Chair Irene Robillard says the two obstacles against growing the Arnprior-McNab Braeside Archives Collection are staff time, and storage.
The facility’s Archivist only works three days a week, in order to stay within budget, and cannot process materials anyway as there’s no space to put them.
