One of the Museum's most important roles in our community is as a source of historical information. The Archives are located in the MSA Museum Annex in the basement of the Clearbrook Library building. This archival collection consists of: 

• approximately 28 linear metres of original documents pertaining to the history, growth and development of the City of Abbotsford
• a collection of interviews with Abbotsford pioneers
• copies of "The Abbotsford News" from 1923-present
• copies of "The Abbotsford Post" from 1910-1924
• over 14,000 locally relevant historical photos
• an ephemera collection, arranged by subject
• an on-line listing of obituaries published in "The Abbotsford News"  

The Archives are open for public research from 1-5pm Monday to Friday.  Closed on Statutory holidays. Please allow adequate time. New research and photocopy requests will not be booked after 4:30pm.
