Hamiota and
District Archives is a non-profit organization run by volunteers.
It was created on
February 12, 1986 at a meeting of a sub-committee of the Hamiota
Centennial History Committee. As the publishers of Hamiota Grains of the
Century, Vol.1 1884-1984, the committee saw the need to collect and
preserve our heritage.
The purpose of the
archives is the collection and preservation of print and pictorial
materials relevant to Hamiota and District.
The archives was
originally located in the librarian's office in Hamiota Centennial
Library, and was moved in the spring of 2004 to its present location on
the second floor of the Heritage Arts Centre to accommodate its growing
collection.
