Hornby Island Archives Opens New Dedicated Building

community · 2018-06-21 · Solans Road, Hornby Island

The Hornby Island Archives inaugurated a new 600 square foot dedicated building next to the New Horizons Centre and Regional Public Library on Solans Road. The building includes environmentally controlled storage and reference space, enhancing preservation and access to community records.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
