Halifax Municipal 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 of unprocessed records at least gives a hint of what we've recently acquired.
Information about records that are processed and described can be found in the Archives database.
The Municipality gratefully acknowledges the donors who have given historical records to the Municipal Archives.
