The main focus of the collection is the present City of Pickering and the former Township of Pickering in particular, but also encompasses materials from the former county of Ontario in general.
The collection consists of documents related to the Town and Township of Pickering as well as the Pickering Airport Papers. The Local History Collection also maintains records such as marriage and death notices, cemetery records, census indexes, newspaper clippings and oral histories. We also maintain a collection of hardbound and paperback books, maps and photographs related to the history of Pickering.
