Old Bibles are valuable

Sometimes people bring Bibles to the Pontiac Archives.  They are very interesting for genealogical information for our records.

We receive too many Bibles and they take up too much storage space.  We do not take any more Bibles but we recommend that they be sent to the Christian Salvage Mission which is located in Hamilton.  They deliver Bibles to Christian Missions around the world.

If you have a Bible that you want to give away, let us see the Bible at the Pontiac Archives so that we can scan the vital information.   Then deliver it to Mr Schlievert who will send them to Hamilton:   

Christian Salvage Mission, c/o M. Roy Schlievert, 3 Edward St., Arnprior, Ontario.   Phone 613-623-2476
