HRM Archives continually adds to its holdings through transfers of municipal records and donations of community records. While it takes time to make these new acquisitions completely accessible, this listing at least gives a hint of what we've recently acquired. Records that are processed and described in our on-line database are in Green .
HRM gratefully acknowledges the donors who have given historical records to the Municipal Archives. See our Donations page if you might have records for the Archives.
