User:Crystalrandell/Bonavista Archives

Bonavista Archives is has been established by the Bonavista Historical Society in partnership with the Town of Bonavista and the Historic Townscape Foundation. The Archives began as a natural outgrowth of the collection and research done by the Bonavista Historical Society and the Bonavista Museum. The collection began with a few genealogy related items and grew into a substantial collection which now includes church records from thirteen communities in the area. The Archives has since grown to include business ledgers, indentures, photographs, postcards, maps, architectural plans, and audiotapes.
