Our next branch virtual meeting will be held on Monday, January 12, at 7:00 pm on Zoom. This meeting will include a review of the past year and confirmation of the slate of officers for the Oxford County Branch Council 2026. Our speaker at this meeting is Sidney Williams, a museum professional, curator, and community heritage leader with deep roots in the Beachville District Museum and the Beachville District Historical Society.
Beginning her work with the museum in 2020, Sidney has since served as Assistant Curator, volunteer Secretary of the Historical Society, and is the current interim Curator/Manager. Sidney has led impactful initiatives that expand access to local heritage, including the development of award-winning “Hands-on Heritage” programs, temporary and permanent museum exhibits, and innovative community events that consistently draw new audiences to the museum. With a passion for traditional craft, collections care, and public engagement, Sidney strives to make history tangible – whether through artifact accessibility, educational community programming, or hands-on experiences that connect visitors to South-West Oxford and Zorra Townships’ stories of making and place. Sidney is the 2025 recipient of the Ontario Historical Society’s Dorothy Duncan Award for Leadership in Heritage, recognizing her creativity, leadership, and commitment to ensuring small heritage institutions have a lasting and meaningful impact.
