ARCHIVES FOR RESEARCH AND LOCAL STUDY

 We hold a collection of documents, pictures and artifacts collected and donated to us over the years. Members are welcome to make an appointment to view the archives for research and local study. Open sessions at the Reading Room will allow you to view our collection of photos, listen to oral history recordings and examine our archive files on various aspects of Barkway history.
Please contact us with your preferred dates and times.
