The Peterborough Museum & Archives, previously known as the Peterborough Centennial Museum and Archives (PCMA), is a historical museum situated in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. It is conveniently located near the Trent-Severn Waterway National Historic Site of the Peterborough Lift Lock, making it an ideal stop for tourists interested in exploring the rich history of the region.
The Peterborough Museum & Archives boasts the second oldest historical collection in Ontario. It houses thousands of archival materials and over 33,000 artifacts. However, due to space restrictions, only 3% of this vast collection is displayed at any given time. This means that each visit to the museum offers a unique experience, with different artifacts on display.
The archives at the Peterborough Museum & Archives provide public access to a wide range of historical documents related to Peterborough and the surrounding areas. These documents include architectural drawings, blueprints, business records, computer media, diaries, government records, letters, maps, minute books, motion pictures, paintings, sketches, photographs, and videotapes. This extensive collection provides a comprehensive insight into the history and development of the region.
