The personnel assigned to The Historic Collections Department and the Peter D. Haughton Library are guided by the Collections Policy and Collections Procedures Manual, which is reviewed and, if required, updated on a regular basis.
We constantly seek to add to our collections. If you are aware of anything of harness racing significance that should be placed with us for safekeeping, please contact us. We would be most happy to accept and care for such treasures in order that they can be preserved for the enjoyment and education of future generations.
