This historic video was recently forwarded to The News. We bet you didn't know that Glengarrians invented the sport of broomball!

About 50 photos and documents from the past drew a massive crowd to The Treasures of Glengarry show staged by the Glengarry Archives at the Glengarry Funeral Home Sunday. Archivist Allan MacDonald, shown here with a referendum question from the past, was pleased with the response.

The Glengarry Archives regularly shares historical items on its Facebook page, including sports posts, such as this one.

The Glengarry Archives provide an impressive view of the county's past, including sports such as the 1959 soccer team from Glen Sandfield.

Do you have photographic memories of Alexandria?

Organizers of the 200th birthday celebration in Alexandria in 2019 want them.

Contact Allan MacDonald, archivist at the Glengarry County Archives, at 613-209-0202 or glengarrycountyarchives@gmail.com to share your photos of the town’s past.

The images will be featured in a pictorial book that will be released in early 2019.

In browsing the archives of The Glengarry News, we came across this photo of a youngster who has grown into a solid soccer player in the county. Can you guess who it is?
