The Bonne Bay Historical Archive

The Bonne Bay Historical Archive:
At the heart of Gros Morne National Park, Bonne Bay has played a key role in the historical development of Western Newfoundland. The Bonne Bay Historical Archive, now being assembled, will be a physical & digital collection of materials and historical records, including documents, photographs, family memoirs, church records, business ledgers, recordings, and stories. Accessible to researchers, historians, local communities, and the general public, it is already a valuable resource for those interested in local history, those researching family histories, students, visitors and others curious about the development of the area. The project, which began in late 2023, is focussing initially on the communities of Bonne Bay South and Trout River. The Archive hopes, in the future, to collaborate with Rocky Harbour and Norris Point, to build a community-based historical collection for the whole of the Bonne Bay area.
