Scope and content
Series consist of administrative files of the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society (TBMHS) in the early 1970s and combined administrative files of the Thunder Bay National Exhibition Centre (TBNEC), newsletters, membership lists, invitations to events and notice of meetings in 1976 and beyond.
Established in 1976 by the board of the TBHMS as a national exhibition centre, with funds from the federal government's Museum Assistance Program, the primary mandate of the TBNEC has been to research, collect and exhibit the work of contemporary First Nations artists, and to host travelling exhibition from other art galleries and museums. The gallery was expanded in 1982. In 1986, it was officially named the Thunder Bay Art Gallery. In 2005, the board of directors approved a move to promote, encourage and exhibit the works of local and regional artists. Also includes expansion plans for The National Centre for Native Art; draft agreements between the Thunder Bay Historical Society and the Finnish Canadian Historical Society to store photographs, documents, and artifacts.
