The Women’s Canadian Historical Society of Ottawa (WCHSO) was founded in 1898 and became known as the Historical Society of Ottawa in 1956.
The WCHSO amassed many artefacts relating to the history of Ottawa which eventually led to the creation of the Bytown Museum (located in the heart of downtown Ottawa, at the Rideau Canal locks between Parliament Hill and the Château).
Its objective in 1898 was to increase public knowledge of Canadian history through publications, meetings, and tours, and continues to be so to this day.
