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.
