Municipal Records
James A. Gibson Library
Municipal Records
The official records of various bodies of local government provide valuable primary sources of information for researchers. Records include the Land Registry Copy Books from the former Lincoln and Welland counties and the townships therein; Assessment and Collector Rolls for the larger towns and cities within the Region; Records of the St. Catharines City Clerk's Office, by-laws, and various official registers and ledgers related to local governance within the Niagara Peninsula.
Municipal records in the holdings date from approximately 1798 to 1996. Materials in this collection no longer have any administrative value to the cities but have historical significance for all citizens. These Municipal Records document the history, development of, and services provided by municipal governments in the Niagara Region. The Municipal Records are categorized by county, and then by townships within the county and occupy 1380 linear feet.
** Appointments are required to consult Municipal Records **
