Mary Webb Centre Collection

Preserving local stories. Opening them to everyone.

The Mary Webb Centre in Highgate, ON — a vibrant hub for cultural arts and local history — has partnered with the Kent Branch Ontario Ancestors to protect and share a unique community resource: the Centre’s local history collection. By combining the Mary Webb Centre’s local knowledge and treasured materials with the Kent Branch’s digitization expertise and technology, this partnership has preserved fragile documents, photographs and family histories and made them accessible to residents, researchers and students across the region.
