If you have other family interests from the Grimsby area, please get in touch with us at ghsarchives@becon.org Grimsby Archives has recently received a donation of material from the estate of the late Ada Bromley who was a founding member of the Grimsby Historical Society and the Hamilton Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. Mrs. Bromley had a wide range of interests, and her files include material on genealogy, the United Church, the IODE, and the Grimsby Historical Society. As an dedicated member of the Board of Education, she collected information on the developments in education in the 1940s, 50s and 60s, with special emphasis on teachers's salaries. This collection may be of interest to anyone researching this aspect of education during the period mentioned. We hope to keep growing so that we can conserve and preserve as much as possible of our town's past. Visit us at 25 Adelaide Street, Grimsby or direct your correspondence to Grimsby Archives, P.O. Box 294, Grimsby, Ontario L3M 4G5 (905) 309-0796 Interested researchers, genealogists and history lovers are invited to visit the Archives Wednesday and Friday mornings, or by appointment.
