“We are thrilled to launch this public portal, a significant milestone in our department’s commitment to transparency and community engagement,” said Kathryn Jamieson, Town of Perth’s Manager of Tourism and Culture. “By opening up our collections, we hope to spark a greater appreciation for the cultural heritage preserved within the walls of the Museum.”

The portal, accessible at PERTH.ca/MuseumCollection, is designed to evolve and expand over time. Museum staff are committed to regularly updating the database with new additions, ensuring that users can continually discover and engage with fresh content.
