Check out our newly accessible archival space!

The staff at the Maple Ridge Museum and Community Archives have recently undertaken the task of cleaning out and converting the Brickyard Office on the museum site into a fully functioning and accessible community archives space. Built as the Haney Brick and Tile Company Office in 1935, the building has since worked as office space and storage. After cleaning out and restoring some of the original 1930’s interior design features, the space is being equipped with the help of a Maple Ridge Community Foundation Grant. While we are excited to have this space dedicated to the archives, the entire archives does not fit in the this building. Only about 70% of the archives will be available in this new space. Once the archives opens, community members will be able to come to search the archives, get the help of archives professionals, and interact with the archives itself. The space will operate by appointment only until COVID restrictions lift and then it will be drop in during open hours. Call the museum or email mrmuseum@gmail.com for more information.
