September 2016 the Pontiac Archives received the updated version of the genealogy by Ottawa Valley Genealogist Walter William Brown, Smiths Falls, Ontario. This collection shows mostly Pontiac County families and some from Lanark plus the family tree branches.
There are 273,907 individuals listed and 97,314 marriages, and many clippings, census, headstone photos, just to name a few.
This collection is only available for the public to use for researching at the Pontiac Archives, in Shawville.
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
