Book The Restructuring of Oxford County: an archival sourcebook
In 1970 the County of Oxford set about restructuring their county. The result of this five year process was a wealth of information which will become increasingly valuable as Ontario prepares to eliminate municipalities province-wide. This collection of archival materials includes all of the important documents from this process. For more information or to order, click here.
