research photography collections & archives

The Randall House has a small library of local history books and some genealogical volumes with associated research files on the second floor.  Here you can consult deed searches for all houses in the Town which were built before 1914, photograph albums of Society events and activities.  Original historic photographs, a small archival collection of documents and the Society's institutional archives are kept at the Esther Clark Wright Archives at Acadia University.  There is no public access to the archival collections at Acadia, but the Curator, the Society Archivist or the Archivists at the Esther Clark Wright Archives will be pleased to help you find what you are looking for and arrange for reproduction if required. The index to these collections is on the website in the Reference Manual, Appendix 2.  Digitizing of the photos is now under way and the scans will evenually appear on the website as well. The first hour of research by the Society's volunteers is free but there is a charge of $20 per hour for research taking more than 1 hour.  Most photos in the collection can be scanned and forwarded by email. Any additional charges for reproduction will be at standard local rates.  Items for publication must have written permission and should be credited to the Wolfville Historical Society.
