About

The Leeds and the Thousand Islands Archives acquires, preserves, promotes and makes available the historical record of the Township of Leeds and the Thousand Islands. Our collections include letters, diaries, municipal documents, maps, drawings, postcards, and photographs.

We are happy to accept materials offered for donation that fulfill our mandate and do not duplicate items already in the collection. The archivist would love to meet with you to evaluate your potential donations. Please inquire using the contact information below!

The Archives is part of a Heritage Centre, Springfield House Museum, and the headquarters of the Lakes and Islands Times Past digitization project.

Please note that the Archives is currently located in the trailer on the left side of the Escott Town Hall building.

You can find all of the current database of items at https://ltiarchives.ca/, which is regularly updated by the Archive team.
