With the help of Our Ontario staff and funding from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports through the Southern Ontario Library Service (SOLS), Prescott-Russell public libraries initiated a project of digitizing items (photographs, postcards, texts, etc.) that illustrate the history of Prescott-Russell.
The first part of this digitization project included 19th century and early 20th century photos depicting the lives and traditions of the French speaking population of the region.
Some of the collection in the database:
Keith M. Boyd Museum collections
Collection E. Paul, Photographe, Rockland, ON
Jean-Pierre Proulx
Russell Historical Society
Newspapers: Castor Review | Russell Leader | Russell Review
