Custodial history
This collection was held by the Ayr Branch of the Region of Waterloo Library until it was transferred to the Region of Waterloo archives in 2017.
Scope and content
This series consists of documents collected by the Ayr Branch of the Region of Waterloo Library that document the Ayr Branch's own history. The series includes a very large collection of photographs documenting the new library building that was constructed for Ayr during 2002-2004, a speech, written in 1956 by Mr. Duff Wilson recounting the history of the Library from its beginning to (what was then) the present, as well as some newspaper clippings connected to the history of the library, including a 1916 newspaper story about Ayr which includes a description of the old Ayr Public Library when it was only a few years old. There is also some memorabilia from the Library's 1971 restoration and an invitation from 2001 to a library event. The series is arranged chronologically.
