Today, the community organizations of the Carnegie Library building, including the Grimsby Historical Society, celebrate the reopening of the Carnegie Building.   The improved accessibility and restoration work completed ensure Andrew Carnegie's gift to Grimsby will once again provide an accessible functional space where all citizens are welcome and a sharing of knowledge and our heritage are celebrated for many years to come.

It is fitting the Grimsby Historical Society Archives are once again home in the Carnegie Library building and ready to serve our community.  Since its inception the Grimsby Historical Society has worked tirelessly to preserve, promote and champion the people, places and natural environment that forms our rich collective history.

We welcome the public to explore the interesting, the curious and the colourful stories of our town.  The dedicated volunteers of the Grimsby Historical Society Archives are ready to open the doors to Grimsby's past.   Welcome to the Carnegie Library building of the future.
