Trinity Parish (Anglican) : 1876-1983. — Microfilmed 1983. — 2 of microfilm reels.

Trinity Parish (Anglican), Halifax, had its beginnings in 1855, when the Bishop of Nova Scotia leased Salem Chapel from the Baptists, and opened it as a free chapel mission. In 1860, the Bishop purchased Zoar Chapel, a disused Methodist meeting house, to continue the work of the mission, sometimes referred to as "the Bishop's Free Chapel". In 1866, the Bishop asked the clergyman serving the free chapel to resign, following a dispute over religious practice. Most of the congregation followed their clergyman to the newly-built Trinity Free Church. Saint Paul's Parish purchased Trinity Church in 1869. In 1888, Trinity was established as a separate parish, with the stipulation that Trinity would remain a free church.

Fonds consists of baptismal registers, 1876-1983; marriage registers, 1916-1983; burial registers, 1919-1983; and confirmation registers, 1937-1981.
