Virtual War Memorial
This virtual War Memorial is made by possible the Arnprior & McNab/Braeside Archives' Cenotaph Project. It seeks to commemorate the local residents of the Town of Arnprior and Township of McNab/Braeside, who served and perished during the First and Second World Wars, as well as the Korean War. The project aimed to identify and obtain information on each individual who is inscribed on the Arnprior Cenotaph, and in the course of this work, further names were also uncovered.

Arnprior Marble: From the Cemetery to the Senate
Archives volunteers Dave and Mary Forsyth wrote this thorough history of Arnprior marble and its uses in many buildings and monuments in the Ottawa Valley and beyond. Records indicate that the marble industry was well underway before the lumber boom that is most well-known as the characteristic industry of the Ottawa Valley's history. The study evolved from questions posed while preparing geology tour guides for the Macnamara Field Naturalists Club.
