Research Requests and Appointments

The Timmins Museum welcomes researchers, students, and community members interested in exploring our collections and archival resources. Our holdings include photographs, documents, maps, and artifacts that help tell the story of Timmins and the surrounding region.

To ensure the best possible access and assistance, research appointments must be arranged in advance. This allows staff time to locate and prepare materials from storage and to confirm availability.

To submit a research request, please contact the museum directly by phone or email with details about your area of interest. A staff member will follow up to schedule an appointment and discuss how we can best support your research.

Please note that research access is by appointment only, and same-day requests may not be accommodated.

We look forward to helping you discover the stories and history that make our community unique!
