Huron County Historical Society - Welcome 
Please help us protect the history of Huron County by completing the following survey on the preservation of archival material.
The Huron County Historical Society is currently working with community partners to find ways to ensure that valuable archival material from various personal and group collections and attics across the county can be kept and preserved properly - particularly those in private or volunteer hands with no resources to ensure preservation.
This is a survey to assist the committee in determining the expectations and requirements of individuals or groups who are interested in creating an archive or an archive network for Huron County. Your answers to the following questions will be of great help to the committee. Feel free to add other information which is not captured within these questions.

The Huron County Historical Society was begun in 1924, but ceased meetings in the thirties – “it lived briefly but died of neglect” according to Gavin Green, a local wag at the time. The Society was reborn in 1964 under the guidance of Susan Muriel Mack, librarian of the Crediton Public Library and strong supporter and contributor to the Women’s Institute movement. Susan became the Society’s first president in 1964.
The purpose of the Huron County Historical Society is to discover, collect, preserve, and perpetuate historical information related to the discovery and settlement of Huron County. A considerable amount of information has been written regarding a few people and events, but most of the story of Huron County has never been gathered together, and some this history has been lost because it has not been recorded. In 1965, the first edition of the Historical Notes was published and it’s annual appearance is anticipated by the Society’s stalwarts and supporters.
The Huron County Historical Society is a non-share, non-profit corporation with charitable status. The organization sustained by membership fees and small grants from the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Recreation.
