Lanark County Rural School Book Series
Archives Lanark volunteers have created individual
books describing the many rural schools which were located in each original
township. This project began with the first book - Rural Schools of
Beckwith Township, which was published in 2010. In 2020, the final rural
school book was completed and printed - that being the Rural Schools
of North Burgess.
In each Rural School Book you will find an incredible
amount of information and history. In particular, a brief history of
education in the community and a map showing the location of the various
schools is documented in each book.
Each chapter is devoted to a particular individual
school with photographs and information on students, teachers and the
buildings. Some vintage class registers and honour roll listings can
also be seen in these beautiful books.
We have hard covered books available for sale for
the following townships: Bathurst, Lanark, North Elmsley, Drummond,
Montague, North and South Sherbrooke, and North Burgess.
In a spiral/soft-covered format, we have Beckwith,
Pakenham and Ramsay Township books available.
Currently out of print are: Dalhousie, Lavant, North
& South Sherbrooke and Darling Township.
