Hello everyone. On January 26, 2009, I clicked the wrong button and deleted the entire Pontiac Archives website by mistake. Terribly sorry about that. (This should teach me to be more patient with other people’s computer problems.)
We’re now back online, and I’m working to restore as much of the old site as I can, or to replace it with something newer.
In the meantime, the old version of this website is available through the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.
Please note that the Archives will be closed for the Christmas break. We will be open for our last day of 2025 on Thursday, December 11th. We will reopen on Tuesday, January 6th. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Local artist Jelly Massee has donated one of her historical paintings to the Pontiac Archives for an online auction. The piece, entitled “Camping on the Ottawa”, will be open for bids until 10:30 am on October 22, 2025. Please visit https://auction.pontiacarchives.org to take part in the auction.
The Pontiac Archives is excited to introduce its brand-new website, now open for a “soft launch” with exclusive access to hundreds of historic photos, rare documents, and audio recordings from the Pontiac’s colorful past. This isn’t just a website; it’s a digital journey through time, capturing the heart and soul
