Who We Work With
Where To Find Our Collection
The Oxford Historical Society’s collection is proudly housed in the historic “Old Governor’s House,” located behind the Oxford County Board of Health—formerly the Oxford County Jail.
Visitors will find the Ontario Ancestors – Oxford County Branch offices on the main floor, with the Oxford County Archives situated upstairs.
An adjoining annex houses the archives of Oxford County and both of our societies.
For your convenience, accessible entry to both buildings is available through the wheelchair ramp at the back.
