Whitby Historical Society www.whitbyhistoricalsociety.com Brian Winter, the first and youngest member, established the Archives in the broom closet.

Dedicated the preservation of history and heritage, and to generating public interest in our history through a variety of community outreach and educational programs. Founded in 1967, coinciding with Canada’s Centennial, and incorporated as a charity in 1968, the Whitby Historical Society (WHS) opened their first museum in a small room in the Centennial Building. It functions as a cultural anchor in the community providing opportunities and events for residents that enhance a strong sense of identity with their community and its diversity, thereby creating greater satisfaction in their lives. As well, the WHS promotes public interest in the Lynde House Museum as a living museum, and are committed to the preservation of history and heritage by sustaining a display of historical artifacts from our Indigenous people and First Settlers. The museum acts as an archive for both the written and pictorial history of Whitby and Southern Ontario, demonstrating how our past shapes our Town’s character. The WHS strives to empower individuals through lifelong learning and to offer an equal opportunity environment where people of all abilities and talents can volunteer and contribute through art, culture and heritage in creating a better community.
