The role and mission of the Archives is to acquire
and preserve permanently valuable public and private records that
establish, maintain and develop the community identity of Guelph and
to make records in the care of the Archives available to the public.
The Archives is the unofficial repository of permanently valuable City
of Guelph government records. These records include council minutes,
correspondence, and by-laws as well as records from standing and special
committees, boards, commissions, and civic departments. In addition to
City records, the Archives acquires private records collections that are
significant to the history of the City and document the social, political,
economic, cultural, and community life of Guelph. These records include the
personal records of community members, elected officials, and community
organizations.
