Delta Museum and Archives Society
We began in 1961 as a meeting of citizens interested in recording reminiscences, mapping homesteads and obtaining photographs and officially became the Delta Historical and Museum Society in 1968. In November 1969 the museum opened on the main floor of Delta’s historic 2 nd Municipal Hall in Ladner. In 1970, Mary Brown was hired as curator at $1.75 an hour for nine hours a week and more than 6000 visitors were welcomed. In 1979 the Archives opened and the combined Museum and Archives occupied all three floors of the old building. In the same year, the Society officially changed its name to Delta Museum and Archives Society. In January 2011 the new Delta Archives and Edgar Dunning Reading Room opened on the main floor of the building that had been Delta’s 3 rd Municipal Hall.
