"YOUR FRIENDLY SOURCE FOR GENEALOGY IN THE KAWARTHAS"

Inside the KARA Research Centre:

Shown are two photographs of materials within the library of the KARA reading room, just a small sampling of what awaits the avid family history researcher upon arrival to our Research Centre. The KARA library contains one of the largest collections of family history material for the central-east Ontario region. Researchers and visitors to KARA are continually delighted by their discoveries of new resources on our library shelves.

In the future we will be adding a specific page on the KARA website, relating to the library and the resources that are featured at KARA.
