This edition of the Bradford Witness is located in the Local History Room, and is in particular a very noteworthy edition. The printing of this edition included many photographs of local businessmen, houses, storefronts, churches, and of the main streets. It also included mini-biographical articles of the people included, acting as a local history gold-mine for Bradford's early 1900s. We have included some of these photographs and articles here, though a full copy of the text and photographs was reorganized thematically by the Bradford West Gwillimbury Historical Society in 1997.
These photographs, maps, and files were part of a donation to the library from the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury. The pictures were taken by municipal workers and staff between around 1989 and 2001. The entire collection consists of approx. 366 photos and various documents.
