Room, the Lambton County Archives is your one-stop-spot for family history research in Lambton
County. Search our files of family records, census records, birth
records (to 1914), marriage records (to 1929) and death records (to
1939). Or browse through local papers such as the Sarnia Observer from
1853 to present, the Petrolia Topic, and the Forest Standard, to see
what’s been making headlines in the County. We also have corporate
records, Land Registry information, historical atlases, Women’s
Institute’s Records, Tweedsmuir Books, the local branch of the Ontario
Genealogical Society holdings, and much more! From beginner to expert
genealogist, the Lambton County Archives is a great resource for all!

Thanks to everyone who was able to visit us during Archives Awareness Week (April 8-13, 2013) and helping with our Historypin project.
We are
asking community members to search through dusty attics or browse
through family photo albums for historic photographs of Lambton County.
Bring the photos and the stories behind them in to the Lambton County
Archives to be scanned and included in our Historypin project. By
creating a digital history of our community, we can create a
collaborative digital archive in an accessible and interactive way.
