Today a new website was launched – Nova Scotia Historical Newspapers Online. This project was sponsored by Libraries Nova Scotia and digitization was carried out in Halifax at the Nova Scotia Archives and in Sydney at the Beaton Institute.
All together, over 19,000 pages of digitized newspaper content have been produced. Sixteen papers have been included in the project with publication dates ranging from 1769 to 1991.
Prior to today it would have been necessary to travel to the institutions where these newspapers are housed in order to view them. Now they are just a mouse click away! Enjoy!
