Bluenose : on board a legend / by Devyn Kaizer ; photography by Peter Zwicker.  Halifax, NS : Formac Publishing Company Limited, 2018. 72 pages : illustrations (some colour), portraits (some colour) ; 23 cm.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - VM395 B5 K33 2018

This book documents the beautiful Tall Ship Bluenose, now a sailing ambassador for the province of Nova Scotia, and tells the dramatic story of the battles and triumphs of original Bluenose. The original Bluenose, built in Lunenburg and launched in 1921, was designed to combine a career as a racing ship with the working role fishing the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. Its captain, Angus Walters, took Bluenose to five international sailing races, and was undefeated for seventeen years. By the 1930s, the vessel's achievements made it an icon for Nova Scotia and an important Canadian symbol. The newly-restored replica, the Bluenose II, represents the wooden shipbuilding achievements and the dory-based cod fishery traditions of Nova Scotia. This book offers an interpretive guide of the ship and its complex traditional equipment. It also tells the story of the original Bluenose, with many historic photographs of the ship and its crew aboard the most famous Tall Ship in Canada in this souvenir of a vessel whose history and allure continues to captivate to this day. Includes index.

MacKenzie, Shelagh

Remember Africville Atlantic Region : National Film Board of Canada ; 1991. 1 VHS videocassette : 35 minutes.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - FC2346.9 R46 A37 1991 - Open Shelf

Africville, a small black settlement, lay within the city limits of Halifax, Nova Scotia. In the 1960s, the families who lived there were uprooted and their homes demolished in the name of urban renewal and integration. Now, more than twenty years later, the site of the community of Africville is a stark, under-utilized park. Former residents, their descendants and some of the decision-makers, speak out and, with the help of archival photographs and films, tell the story of that painful relocation.

Haigh, Elizabeth V.

Abraham Gesner : the lure of the rocks and a burning ambition / Elizabeth V. Haigh.  Victoria, BC : Tellwell Talent, 2019. xi, 374 pages : illustrations, maps ; 23 cm.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - QE22 G47 H35 2019

Debt and bad management drove Abraham Gesner off his farm in Nova Scotia's bucolic Annapolis Valley in 1825. It turned out to be a stroke of luck. While doing medical courses in London hospitals, he encountered the industrial revolution. Attending sundry lectures and demonstrations, he got his first whiff of the rapidly developing new sciences of chemistry, geology and natural history. He was hooked! Back home, traveling about the country visiting patients, he honed his observational skills, finally producing pioneering geological surveys of all three Maritime provinces. Imitating procedures which he had first observed while abroad, he experimented with "cracking" coal to generate the tars, oils and gases which fueled the industrial revolution. In the process, he produced "kerosene" - an illuminating gas and an oil - which revolutionized artificial lighting and generated much industry. Because he explored with native guides and advocated on their behalf, he served for a time as Indian Commissioner. An engaging lecturer, he addressed audiences on many scientific subjects and developed the region's first natural history museum; he wrote articles and books describing the region and extolling its potential for development. His final publication was a textbook of hydrocarbon chemistry. Local lawsuits over mining rights and patent infringements caused him to move to New York. Still more lawsuits drove him back to his native land where he died, shortly after being appointed to a coveted lectureship in Dalhousie University. Includes bibliographic references and index.
