The Archival Process

We plan to collect and provide access to archival material relevant to the history of Bonne Bay.  We are working to arrange and describe this material according to acceptable, current archival principles, and to provide adequate and appropriate environmental and storage conditions. Unless restricted by legal requirements or by written agreements with the donor, the content of the archives will be made accessible to the public.

Much more material will be added to the Archive from  time to time, in both original and digital form.

​

In the meantime, please enjoy this small collection of samples from the archive.

The Archive stores a wide range of published and unpublished books, newspaper and magazine artricles, family memoirs, essays, maps, charts, sketches and other images. We welcome donations of more appropriate materials.

Recordings

If you have audio or video recordings that you think would be of value to future generations, we encourage you to get in touch with us.  From digitization to storage, we can help ensure that your recordings are accessible to future researchers and historians.

Families of the South Arm of Bonne Bay

We at the Bonne Bay Historical Archive Committee are thrilled to add to our website one of the most important contributions to the history of Bonne Bay, Roy Osmond’s “Family Names of the South Arm of Bonne Bay 1800s-1930”. This unique source of genealogical information was reproduced privately in 1987, and has been long since unavailable, except in some libraries and a few private collections.
