Scope note(s)

  • The Archives preserves many collections related to sports in the Peterborough area.
  • Especially notable are records of the Peterborough Cricket Club. Our most prolific group of papers, however, pertains to the history of organized youth camping. We are the depository for the records of the Ontario Camping Association, the Canadian Camping Association and the Society of Camp Directors. Associated with the camping records is a collection of promotional brochures issued by various camps, and numerous pamphlets and books. These items are all located in the Archives. The books have been catalogued as a Special Collection and appear in OMNI, the library catalogue, with the designation "CP". We also preserve a complete collection of OCAsional News and Canadian Camping Magazine.
