We collect, preserve and provide access to archival materials reflecting the religious, cultural, organizational, congregational, family and personal lives of Mennonites with roots and branches in Ontario. The Archives is cared for by Conrad Grebel University College on behalf of the Mennonite constituency. We are located within the Milton Good Library, with its complementary collections and services.
Hours for Archives research and Rare Books/Periodicals access: 9:00 am-4:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Exceptions to our regular hours are posted on the Milton Good Library website. An appointment in advance is recommended for archival materials. Rare books can be accessed upon request at the library desk.
Resources for genealogical research. Due to limited staff time, the Mennonite Archives of Ontario cannot carry out detailed research on behalf of patrons. We will attempt to answer a question if it can be done in about 15 minutes. Otherwise we ask you to make a personal visit for research. If you are unable to visit, we may be able to scan archival materials for you for a fee. Please contact us listing the materials you are interested in, and we will respond with an estimated cost and timeline. The archives may refuse requests for reasons of copyright, fragility of materials, amount of material requested or limitations of time. Consult our genealogy research guide for more information.
