Pleased to share that digitized copies of The Officers' Quarters are now available online. The OQ served as the official publication of the Fredericton Region Museum from 1985 to 2025, and offers short essays documenting the history of the city, region, and museum!

Happening tomorrow at the Fredericton Region Museum: Greg Sprague joins the FRM's speaker series to discuss how faculty at @discoverunb.bsky.social lead the institution and the country into the information age. All are welcome - admission by donation.

Many thanks to those who submitted proposals for our first issue. We were very excited to receive so many excellent submissions and look forward to the release of the first volume of The Oar in August 2026! More to come, and stay tuned for other Fredericton Region Museum updates.

Less than a week away from the deadline for proposal submissions (but at least it's not a SSHRC application)! If you are interested in writing New Brunswick history, get in touch!
