Gerry Segger Heritage Collection

The Gerry Segger Heritage Collection is an archive of historical materials related to the Dutch-Canadian experience, as well as materials associated with the traditions of Reformed Christianity in Canada (including German Reformed).
The Heritage Collection is made possible through the legacy gift of Mr. Gerry Segger. A parent of two alumni and an active member of the King's community since 1989, Gerry Segger's longtime engagement with King's and his interest in preserving history have made this unique collection a reality.
If you would like to donate material or learn more about the Heritage Collection, please email heritagecollection@kingsu.ca.
