The Eassons and the Hoyts

Two Hundred Years of Family and Community Life in Nova Scotia

Because 'The Eassons and the Hoyts' consists almost entirely of digitized textual records, the small virtual exhibit presented here features over thirty engravings, aquatints, photographs and maps, in order to provide a visual sense of the homes and communities in which these families lived. Several miscellaneous documents gleaned from other archival material held at Nova Scotia Archives and elsewhere are also included, to provide additional background information.
