Media Release: North Perth Public Library and Stratford-Perth Archives team up for call to document Monktons history. The North Perth Public Library and the Stratford-Perth Archives are looking for help from the local community to document the early history of the community of Monkton. In preparation for the opening of our new Monkton Branch Library this fall, I reached out to the Archives searching for early photos of Monkton. says Rebecca Dechert Sage, NPPL CEO. Archiv...es staff explained to me that they have great early street views in their postcard collection, but more photographs documenting Monktons past would be really welcome additions to the research files there. The Monkton Library has been a part of the history of Monkton since 1899. The building where it was originally housed acted as a community hub that brought people in for various reasons, including the Library, Womens Institute meetings and the telegraph. We are proud to be part of the long history in Monkton, stay tuned to see how we celebrate that at the new location! Residents are invited to submit scanned images via the link at www.yoursaynorthperth.ca. Image resolution is requested to be minimum of 300dpi. Residents who do not have access to a scanner and computer are welcomed to call the Library to book an appointment to make their submission. The digital images will become part of the collection of the Stratford-Perth Archives. In particular, we are hoping to see images of early, pre-1950s Monkton, says Dechert Sage. In addition to documenting the architecture and history, were especially interested in events where the community came together: community picnics, sporting events, parades, construction projects, etc. For further information about this project, please contact Rebecca Dechert Sage, CEO, North Perth Public Library at 519-291-2950 x2401 or Betty Jo Belton, Archivist, Stratford-Perth Archives at 519-271-0531 x250.
