OAK BAY ARCHIVES
The Oak Bay Archives is here to:
• Collect and preserve Oak Bay’s history,
• Catalogue, index and safe keep collected material,
• Make material available for reference and research and
• Increase public knowledge and educate future generations in Oak Bay’s heritage.
 
Scholars, students & the general public can access the Archives.
We are in the basement of the Oak Bay Municipal Hall. Drop in Tuesday 9:30 to noon, Thursday 1-3 pm or make an appointment. Our volunteers will be there to assist you.Academic researchers and students are encouraged to make an appointment.
 
We offer a copying service for archival documents.
Generally the archives staff will accept orders for copies, but this will depend upon what restrictions are placed on the file. A charge of 25 cents per page and cost recovery charges for photographic reproduction will be levied. Orders require at least 7 days for processing. Digital transmission of copies depends on current availability and staff time.
 
We have many Oak Bay archival materials.

We are happy to accept any photographs, maps, recordings, personal papers or documents relating to the social or geographical history of Oak Bay. Unfortunately, because our space is limited we are unable to collect artifacts that may be more appropriate for a museum collection.
