Since 2005, the Rideau Township Historical Society has been publishing a monthly newsletter (except for July and August of each year.) In addition to general information about the affairs of the Society, the newsletters typically contain a summary review of special presentations made at the most recent monthly meeting, an article based on the collections at the Rideau Branch of the City of Ottawa Archives in North Gower, and other items of interest to members.

We have created an archive of past newsletters as a resource for anyone exploring the rich history and heritage of Rideau Township.

A Note on Searching the Collection: You can search our newsletter collection by using the Search box on any of our pages. Your search results will include all document titles from our site (principally newsletters and blog posts) containing all of your search terms, but not necessarily in combination. However, you can search for a specific phrase by using quotations in the Search box. When a document from your search results is opened, press "Ctrl+F" (Windows) or Cmd+F (OS) and reenter your search terms, one at a time (search terms entered together in this search box will return 0 results, unless the terms appear together in the document.) However, specific phrases can be found in the document using this method, but only if the phrase is accurate and the quotation marks are removed.
