Archives and Genealogical Resources

spacer

The Museum Archives contains a wealth of information for anyone conducting research within the Township of Scugog. Our volunteer Archivists and staff research genealogical requests for individuals from across North America. The Archives contain the following resources for the former Reach, Scugog and Cartwright Townships and the Village of Port Perry, now all part of the Township of Scugog:
  • Assessment Rolls
  • Birth/Death/Marriage Registers
  • Personal and Agricultural Census
  • Cemetery Records
  • Tax Collectors Rolls
  • Deeds
  • Maps
  • Municipal Records
  • Newspapers
  • School Records
  • Women's Institute Records.
We also have genealogy files catalogued by family name, a number of detailed family trees donated by local families and an extensive photographic collection. Limited research material is also available on neighbouring Townships. Access to the Archives is by appointment only. Visitors may conduct their own research for a flat rate of $16.00, which includes a limited number of photocopies. Research can also be done by Museum personnel at a rate of $30.00/hour.
