Trent Valley Archives
Support local history through TVA Membership
and financial donations.
Trent Valley Archives is a Registered Charity and can issue tax receipts for financial donations and historical documents such as family papers and documents from local clubs, organizations and businesses. *
Meanwhile please download our brochure (pdf), explore our website, look us up on social media, send us an email or give us a call. We look forward to meeting you.
* Large collections of letters, photos and other historical documents must be accompanied by a donation to offset the cost of archival boxes, photo sleeves and other associated expenses. We would be pleased to discuss this with you.
