We will be closed to in-person researchers on December 14th and December 15th. The Archives will re-open on December 16th at 10 am. This temporary closure is necessary to prepare for the installation of mobile shelving. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Browsing the digital holdings of the Nova Scotia Archives. I haven't just browsed for a while. OMG there's a lot there! The two clips I've posted here are just a small sample. Well done, @NS_Archives! archives.novascotia.ca/virtual/
Due to the arrival of Hurricane Lee, Nova Scotia Archives will remain CLOSED tomorrow, Saturday September 16th, as a precautionary effort to keep staff and researchers safe.
@charlenegagnon @NS_Archives Hi, the Government of Nova Scotia launched its first website in 1995, and here's what it looked like!
Happening Today: No. 2 Construction Battalion Flag Raising Ceremony. July 5, 2023 : CFB Gagetown, Oromocto, New Brunswick – 1pm Atlantic. In remembrance of their creation on July 5, 1916. Watch Livestream: zurl.co/BhLx
On this day in 1916: the Department of Defense and Militia authorized the formation of the No. 2 Construction Battalion, the largest Black military unit in Canadian history. You can learn more about the Battalion here: no2-cef.ca/history/
On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis across Canada. Explore our video series with Mi’kmaq Cultural Heritage Curator, Roger Lewis. #NIPD2023 youtu.be/4yv1kUjZJEo
Ta’n me’j Tel-keknuo’ltiek (Da’n mej Del-geg-new-ol-tee-egg): How Unique We Still Are. Our exhibit continues at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic. Salina Kemp, Guest Curator. maritimemuseum.novascotia.ca/what-see-do/ta… #MMAUnique #WeAreAllTreatyPeople
Nova Scotia designer Vicki Lynn Bardon specifically created these designs of an appliquéd Town of Lunenburg skirt for Princess Diana and the tiny toddler’s Bluenose II jacket for one-year-old Prince William.
June is National Indigenous History Month. Thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers, the Mi'kmaq called themselves L'nu'k, which simply means 'the people,' 'human beings.' Their present name, Mi'kmaq, derives from nikmaq, meaning 'my kin-friends.' #NIHM2023
In 1896, Yarmouth Steamship Limited promoted its 'Land of Evangeline Route' as the "shortest, cheapest and most pleasant route between Boston and Nova Scotia and Cape Breton''.

With so many quilters coming to Halifax for #quiltcanada2023, we couldn't resist sharing some of our favourite quilting photos! That double wedding ring quilt is a particular stunner (in my opinion).

Wondering if anyone knows what year the Government of Nova Scotia launched its first website? @nsgov @NS_Archives ?
@charlenegagnon @NS_Archives Hi, the Government of Nova Scotia launched its first website in 1995, and here's what it looked like!
Happening Today: No. 2 Construction Battalion Flag Raising Ceremony. July 5, 2023 : CFB Gagetown, Oromocto, New Brunswick – 1pm Atlantic. In remembrance of their creation on July 5, 1916. Watch Livestream: zurl.co/BhLx
On this day in 1916: the Department of Defense and Militia authorized the formation of the No. 2 Construction Battalion, the largest Black military unit in Canadian history. You can learn more about the Battalion here: no2-cef.ca/history/
@NS_Archives @ClaudineBonner True! Yes, love the resources they have available. But I think these older dates (1930s) require use of the City Directories.
@ClaudineBonner Indeed! Street numbers changed in 1950s and again in 1960s, but according to 1907 City Directory @NS_Archives archives.novascotia.ca/directory/page… and map from 1930 (red dot) - No. 2 Brunswick seems to now be 2080 Brunswick.
@NS_Archives The giant trilobite Asaphus, from the iron deposits at Tia'mui-sipu, along the Moose River near Clementsport., was also the earliest published description of a #fossil from #NovaScotia - in 1834. #historyGeology x.com/tim_fedak/stat…
190 years ago! Jacob Green MD was the FIRST to illustrate and describe a fossil from #NovaScotia - Asaphus crypturus, a giant Devonian trilobite from #MooseRiver at #Clementsport. Green also made plaster reference casts that were shared with museums around the world #FossilFriday
Nova Scotia designer Vicki Lynn Bardon specifically created these designs of an appliquéd Town of Lunenburg skirt for Princess Diana and the tiny toddler’s Bluenose II jacket for one-year-old Prince William.
Excited today to see at the @NS_Archives the original copy of Giants and Pigmies essay #3 as published in Presbyterian Witness Jan 9, 1887. The newspaper 'media' context of the essay series and surrounding stories #FindingHoneyman - with so many Moose and Caribou!
@katynotie @NS_Archives I have also seen it in the vital stats as a "visitation of God in a friendly manner"
@NS_Archives Yeah! Death records! Was searching for an ancestor I can’t find anything on so I searched the wrong but similar sounding last name. Happened upon this. I also found one once where cause of death was written with quotations “The Brown Katies.” I’ll never say bronchitis again.
June is National Indigenous History Month. Thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers, the Mi'kmaq called themselves L'nu'k, which simply means 'the people,' 'human beings.' Their present name, Mi'kmaq, derives from nikmaq, meaning 'my kin-friends.' #NIHM2023
I found this curiosity while looking around the @NS_Archives. Three people in Broad Cove are listed to have died by Visitation of God. Which meant suddenly or unexpected. Strange thing for three people.
Happy #NationalBestFriendsDay @NS_Archives ♥️
Published this week, "Poor Relief and 'Cheap Labour': Pauper Apprenticeship and Auctions in Early 19th C Nova Scotia," at @Sociale_History. hssh.journals.yorku.ca/index.php/hssh… #CdnHist
I'm glad to have this out there, not least for the chance to share the stories of individuals like Charles Lenington, Chloe Willoughby, and other Black Nova Scotians. It's based on research at @acadiaarchives and @NS_Archives. Gratitude for all who spoke into this project.
