Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s Heritage + Heritage Committee
Heritage is who we are and can have a large impact on where we’re going. The Town of Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s is dedicated to preserving our history and we implement programs to continue to collect information that has formed the town into what it is today.
Picture Program: The archive collection would like to expand its picture collection across all decades. Whether it is pictures of people, events, houses, landscapes, or anything else, we will accept it. We will also make professional copies at no cost to you and return the originals to you if you wish.
Archives and Artifact Collection: Artifacts are items that are information based; pictures, stories, certificates, records etc. Artifacts are old items that represent a way of doing things that has changed over time. Collecting archival material and artifacts is a way of preserving our culture and heritage and making information available.
Our Archive is currently under construction with renovations happening at the Town Hall however when the renovations are complete, the archive will again be open to the public.
