Middlesex Centre Archives

Published purpose

The Lobo Township Book Committee created a collection to record this area's history and transferred these records to the Middlesex Centre Archives. The images represent many aspects of native and early settlement up to 1990, and show various dimensions of the primarily rural community – including education, religion, industry, agriculture, military, organizations, transportation, recreation and the histories of many families still in the area. The organization plans to arrange and describe the records; provide preventative conservation for the collection's 2 000 images and photographs; and create descriptions for the other records. This involves transferring negatives and images to appropriate storage containers, creating a finding aid, and uploading the information to Archeion. Once properly stored, the organization will make the images available to the public.
