To this end the Society studies the archaeology of the County, acquires documents and manuscripts, obtains narratives and records of pioneers, conducts a library of historical reference, maintains a gallery of historical portraiture, publishes and otherwise diffuses information relative to the history of the County and of the Dominion, and works to developwithin this County the study of history.
