Nanaimo Community Archives agreed in 2009 to accept records of Friends of Morden Mine.
Presently most official papers of the society are in their hands. More materials will be deposited on an ongoing basis. This is a big step forward access and research-wise for members and non-members, although cataloguing by NCA may take some months. Friends of Morden Mine fond will contain records of FOMM as well as other historical information relating to Morden and surrounding areas.

FOMM encourages donations of newspaper clippings, photos, pamphlets, historical maps, plans, correspondence relating to Morden Colliery and area. If you or your family have a relevant letter, photo or other item listed above that you are willing to share through NCA, please phone 250-755-3099 or 250-714-0377 for free pick-up.
