The Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives was founded in 1986 by a joint coordinating committee between the Arnprior and District Museum Board and the Arnprior and District Historical Society. It was then opened in 1993 as a collective community and historical project between the town of Arnprior and the townships of McNab and Braeside as the Arnprior and District Archives (ADA). When McNab and Braeside amalgamated into one township in 1998 the name of the archives changed to Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives. The purpose of the Archives is to acquire, preserve, and make available, original documents relating to the history of Arnprior and McNab/Braeside. Its collections include papers of businesses, societies, churches, organizations with an area connection; deeds; maps; private diaries; correspondence; scrapbooks; and account books; collections of photographs; newspapers and books published in the area. The Archives acquires materials to prevent the destruction or loss of culturally important records, and to support research programs.
