Archives

Oak Bay Archives collects, preserves, and shares the community’s historical records. You can find us on the lower level of Oak Bay Municipal Hall.

Founded in 1994, the Archives is the central collection of Oak Bay’s history. If you have original historic photographs, family albums, personal papers, or other documents related to Oak Bay’s people, businesses, or organizations, please contact the Archivist about donating them.

Oak Bay Archives supports the community by:

• Collecting and preserving historic records, including community and municipal documents
• Providing public access to these records
• Promoting Oak Bay’s history through education and outreach programs
