Join us for Oakville Images Scanning Day!
Thursday, August 5th 12:00 noon – 4:00pm @ Central Branch
Oakville Public Library is proud to be working with the Oakville Historical Society to promote interest in Oakville’s history by hosting a Scanning Day. We will be on hand to assist the public with scanning their old photos and documents and uploading them into a database to be shared with others.
Through Oakville Images, an online database provided by OurOntario.ca and accessible through the Library’s website at www.opl.on.ca, the public can access thousands of images documenting the history of Oakville and surrounding areas. The Library is actively looking to expand this collection and is seeking image contributions!
Oakville Historical Society is collaborating with the Library and other local historical groups on a new and exciting project: Oakville Memories: Old & New– a rich collection of Oakville stories and photographs submitted by members of the community to document and celebrate Oakville. Your scanned photographs would further enrich this project!
If you have any photos, postcards, or other historically rich images, we invite you to bring them and we also encourage you to contribute a short story about your own experiences in Oakville and to bring it along with you to the Scanning Day.
To confirm your attendance at the Oakville Images Scanning Day, please contact Jacquelyn Bennett at (905)815-2042 ext. 5093 or at jbennett@oakville.ca. Please kindly provide your name, contact information and approximate number of pictures.
