REPOSITORY OF BLYTH HISTORY

DOORS OPEN AT MEMORIAL HALL

We will be displaying a major portion of our collection of Blyth history, images, and artifacts in the Bainton Gallery next to Blyth Memorial Hall.

Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14

10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day

Doors are open for the Blyth Memorial Hall at the above times, and in the Bainton Gallery a major part of our collection will be available for viewing and querying.

Our collection includes a huge amount of information about the families and individuals, places, events, stories, businesses, or organizations, mostly from the past and the recent past. As well we will have on display a few artifacts which have been donated to the Repository.

To be specific here are the things you can do when you join us.

See two automated slide presentations which will be alternated throughout the day:

AN ALBUM OF FAMILIES

IMAGES OF BLYTH 

Consult our collection of approximately 30,000 reference cards for information about people, businesses, etc. We will make copies of cards of interest to you, or make an appointment for you to explore the main collection.

Ask any questions you have about Blyth's past and we will try to give you answers on the spot, or look up the information later.

Inquire about obituaries in our collection. We will have about 2600 obituaries on computer on site. If we have what you are looking for, we'll print the obituary for you, or you can browse through the collection of obituaries which we have not had time to index.

Look through a number of binders of information, pictures, documents on topics such as schools, obituaries, and other topics.

Look at a few of the artifacts we will be putting on display.

We are very grateful for a few friends who have volunteered to assist us during the scheduled time, the setting up and tearing down time.
