Membership

Membership in The Historical Society of Ottawa is open to all. We are students, researchers, authors, retired people and working people from all walks of life and backgrounds. We are a diverse group with one thing in common—a love of history, especially Ottawa Valley history!

By becoming a member of The Historical Society of Ottawa, you are contributing to the preservation and sharing of the Ottawa Valley’s rich history. Your annual membership fees help fund the many activities of the Society which include:

  • speaker presentations (in-person or by Zoom, in English or French);
  • support for the Ottawa Regional Heritage Fair for youth,
  • our annual Storyteller award,
  • the publication of historical research and personal memories,
  • outings to local museums, and other activities.

So, please join us. We’d be delighted to welcome you as a member!
