The Oshawa Community Museum and Archives is a historical museum founded by the ''Oshawa Historical Society'', located in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.

== Historical development ==
The ''Oshawa Historical Society'', a major component of the current Oshawa Community Museum, was founded in 1957. It was founded to fulfill the interests of Oshawa citizens in preserving the history of the city and surrounding region. With support from the City of Oshawa and the provincial government in the form of financing, the organization began under the name of ''"The Oshawa and District Historical Society"''.〔 The society was admitted to the Ontario Historical Society in 1959, and officially incorporated in 1965. In 1959, the City of Oshawa granted the use of three settler homes in the Oshawa harbour area to be used as a community museum. The first iteration of the museum came in the form of the Henry House Museum in 1960, where a homestead (Henry House) built circa 1840 was renovated to reflect an 1870s Victorian era theme, complete with historic furniture and artifacts.In 1964, the dilapidated family home, Robinson House (c. 1856), was restored in 1969 through fund-rasing drives. The early 1970s saw an increase in overseas visitors, many coming from the United States, Australia and the British Isles. As many cottages along the lakefront were being demolished, in 1980, it was suggested that Guy House (a farmhouse, dating to c. 1845), could be restored as it possessed historic character. In 1985, Guy House was opened, completing the three components of the museum. In 1988, the society was renamed ''"The Oshawa Historical Society"''. The 1990s saw the hosting of highly successful traveling exhibits such as the Royal Ontario Museum's ''Discovery of the Titanic''. The museum launched its first website in 1998. Also in 1998, the museum changed its name from the ''"Oshawa Sydenham Museum and Community Archives"'' to the ''"Oshawa Community Museum and Archives"''. In 2003, a fire caused by an arsonist destroyed much of the office space and a portion of the archives in Guy House. Less than two percent of the entire collection was burned.〔 In 2005, the Museum received Leader of the Opposition (now Prime Minister) Stephen Harper as part of discussions relating to Oshawa's harbour area As of 2013, the Museum is in the process of digitizing all of its collection in the Henry House, to be placed on the main website and in the Artefacts Canada database.
