MCA's hours will be changing - but only temporarily!

Archivist Krista is going on medical leave, so we need to make changes until she's back.

MCA will be open Wednesday and Thursday mornings, 10am-12pm and by appointment. If making an appointment, please consider asking at least 1 wk in advance.

It is one of our largest fundraising events of the year! Be sure to check Filson's website for details. Thank you to all our supporters and volunteers who make this happen each year!

The "London Township Centennial Photo Archives Project" is completed. Thanks to Alyssa's, our co-op student, all images have been rehoused/scanned for preservation!
