The Colchester Historical Society was organized on 23 February 1954, with Dr. L.A. DeWolfe, a pioneer in the field of education, as the first President.
The Society was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization under the provisions of the Societies Act of Nova Scotia on 30 April 1973.
The dream of a museum became a reality in February 1976 when the Colchester Historical Museum was opened in the former Science Building of the Provincial Normal College at 29 Young Street, Truro. In the following years the document library progressed to its current status as a modern Archives, available for research by society members and the public at large.
