Deseronto residents will soon have place to go online where they can share their personal memories of growing up in the community, as well as photos, artifacts, special heritage-related events, and anything else that highlights the town's unique history.
Town archivist Amanda Hill recently announced that the archives, located in the Deseronto Public Library, recently got $16,000 in funding from the Ontario Museum and Technology Fund to develop a new website called About Deseronto.

"This project will put the telling of Deseronto's history into the hands of anyone with an interest in the history of Deseronto, allowing them to share their memories and stories," said Hill, adding that she and her staff will be working to promote co-operation between different generations to help the project move along.
Hill said with a very limited staff, it would have been "difficult or impossible to set the new website up without this extra money."
