We’re pleased to be donating a collection of historic bank ledgers and records, discovered during the renovation of 1 Church St, to the Bathurst District Historical Society next week.

These materials offer a unique window into Bathurst’s past, capturing records of local economic activity and social business practices. A cursory review has revealed the names of Bathurst families and businesses dating back to the 1800s and early 1900s.

Preserving these records ensures they remain accessible for future research and continue to tell the story of our region.
