a span of 210 years - Halifax, Loyalist Shelburne, Pictou and Central
Grove, Digby County, 1769 to 1977. A total of 14,377 digitized pages
accessible right now, from wherever you are in the world! And for even
more online historical newspapers visit our project partner, the Beaton

Nova
Scotia Archives and Records Management, creator of the Nova Scotia
Historical Vital Statistics website, is pleased to announce the launch of
a new click-through web service, linking researchers on www.Ancestry.ca
( http://www.ancestry.ca/ ) directly
to the digitized birth, marriage and death records available on the Nova
Scotia Historical Vital Statistics website @ www.NovaScotiaGenealogy.com.

| CANADIAN SITES |
An
additional 27,987 'new' historical vital statistics are now waiting for
you on www.novascotiagenealogy.com!
New content includes births (1908), marriages (1933) and deaths (1958),
plus 'delayed' registrations for individuals born in 1908 or earlier but
not registered at the time of birth. The delayed registrations are
especially interesting - most include several pages of documentation (keep
scrolling down...) and the earliest is for someone born in 1830. |

Scotia Historic Places Initiative |
Historic places, such as buildings, cemeteries, parks and bridges,
surround us and shape our landscape. They give us a sense of place.
Without them, we would lose part of our identity - a tie to those who
have gone before us. The Nova Scotia Historic Places Initiative (NSHPI)
was established in 2003 to promote the protection of Nova Scotia's
historic places. Through training, support and the searchable Register
of Historic Places, the NSHPI invites you to help us share our
significant past to help shape our future.
