Institutionele geschiedenis
The architectural inventory of Corner Brook was funded by and completed by the Corner Brook Museum and Archives in 2004.
The CBMA officially opened on December of 1997 in the former Corner Brook Public Building. This building was erected during 1925-1926 and housed the Post Office, Telegraph Office, Customs Office and the Law Courts. In 1996 Newfoundland Telephone, the owners at that time donated the building to the City of Corner Brook for usage as a museum. The Corner Brook Museum & Archives Society was formed to fulfill this commitment and in 1997 the City signed an agreement with the CBMAS granting them use of the building to develop a community museum and archive.
In 2009 the City began preparations for the construction of the New City Hall. In October of 2009 the CBMA prepared to close down operations and place over a thousand artifacts into storage within the Museum. The CBMA moved its offices and archives to the another City owned building at Brook Street. After the opening of the New City Hall in the summer of 2011 the CBMA looked again to reoccupy the space that had been its home since 1997. The Museum officially reopened in July of 2012.
