Exploring this site:

The navigation menu on the left hand side at the top of every page guides you into the three topics, their subsections, “more” pages, Credits, Bibliography, and a link to the Historical Society of the Gatineau's current website.

Or use the Next and Back buttons on the compass to take you consecutively through the site as follows on the list below.

These buttons link to sections that viewers with higher speed connections will enjoy more, as some of the goodies take longer to view through modems slower than 56K.

The image of the Gatineau Valley Historical Society‘s logo, is located at the top right side of each page.

Travel through the region and time as you wish. Happy Exploring!
