The Agassiz-Harrison Historical Society is a
non-profit organization whose purpose is to preserve and display
artifacts, records, and information of historical and heritage value,
in relation to the Agassiz-Harrison area.
The society operates a museum and archives that
exhibit and store artifacts,
photographs,
and newspapers
that tell the story of the Agassiz-Harrison Valley, the District
of Kent, and Harrison Hot Springs.
Our Archives Include:
Approximately 8000 local
photographs
Artifacts relating to the local surrounding area
Bound copies of the local newspapers that operated in the community
– dating back to the early 1900’s
Local history books
Canadian Pacific Railway history in relation to Agassiz area
Manuscripts and textual records
Maps
Our goal is to eventually have many of these
archives available to the public for viewing and researching purposes.
Until this point they will be restricted to trained historical society
staff and volunteers. We do, however, accept research
requests both online and in person at the museum.
