Archivist Amanda Hill said the archives “grew out” of the Hastings County Historical Society, which had been collecting local and provincial historical material since 1957 - and moved into their current space at the library three years ago. “Eventually, there was so much material that volunteers couldn’t really run it anymore. They needed a professionally set up organization,” Hill explained. “The Historical Society campaigned and persuaded the City of Belleville and the County of Hastings to partner with them (in 2010) to create a whole new archives. It’s a combination of the collections that the Historical Society gathered and the city’s own archives, the County archives and the archives of all the different municipalities in Hastings County.” http://bit.ly/2ZR7s3J http://bit.ly/2ZR7s3J+ -- Peterk Dallas, Tx [log in to unmask] Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org “If only there were a massive entity that I were forced to fund to tell me how I should live my life, since I’m so obviously incapable of deciding for myself.” M.
