Custodial history
All Municipal Council meetings were held at the Argyle Township Court House at Tusket, since incorporation in 1879. Previous to this time, Municipal Clerks had been from the village of Tusket and kept the records in their own homes. From 1945-1976, a proper staff was on hand in the Argyle Court House. About one-half of the records in this fonds are thought to have been left in the buildings when the Municipality of Argyle removed its offices to the renovated Tusket School Building in 1976. The Archives was subsequently established in the Court House building with these and other abandoned municipal records forming the core of its holdings. The remainder of the records in the fonds were transferred to the Archives from the Municipal Office in approximately equal portions in 1990, 1996 and 1997.
Scope and content
Fonds consists of records created or received by the Municipality of Argyle while carrying out the activities of property assessment and tax collection. Because of prior arrangement, it was decided to maintain the municipal taxation records in a fonds separate from the rest of the municipal records. The records within each series have been arranged in chronological order.
