EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT! 📰

Our three most recent additions to the archives represent the three oldest newspapers in our collection to date. These 1884, 1885 & 1886 Minden Echos were made available to us thanks to Pat Campbell from Minden.

If you have old Haliburton County Newspapers, we’d love to add them to the collection! Go to hhda.ca to find out how.

The scan quality of these three newspapers is substandard but we will have them professionally scanned during the next phase of our project and will update with the enhanced scans when complete. We couldn’t wait to share them with you.

You can view the three papers our using this link.
