Tim McDonald's name is a familiar one in the area because of his many articles in the Liverpool newspaper, The Queens County Advance, that deal with the local history. As well, his recent books have been very popular. He was born in Liverpool, Nova Scotia, in 1965. Through much influence and guidance from his grandmother, Doris (Berriman) Taillon, he became very interested in his own family history when he was only 19 years old. Over the years since then, he has delved into not only other families' genealogies but also involved himself in researching people, places and events of Queens County. This book is a collection of his articles that have appeared in The Advance since 2015. As an added bonus, there are some new topics that have been included in this publication. 'Remembering Queens County, Nova Scotia' shares some of the rich history of South Queens and will help preserve some of the stories that needed to be told. Includes bibliographical references and index.

Nova Scotia from the air : then and now / by Len Wagg. Halifax, NS : Nimbus Publishing, 2019. 118 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 23 cm.
Nova Scotia Archives Library - FC2312 W328 2019 - Open Shelf
In this brilliant follow-up to the bestselling Then & Now, award-winning photographer Len Wagg again takes readers back through time. Aerial landscapes shot in dazzling colour from Louisbourg to Church Point are contrasted with black-and-white photos from the Nova Scotia Archives collection. Readers will see high rises where there were once open fields; stark vistas filled in with residences and windmills. In some side-by-side pairings, the change is startling; in others, subtle. Nova Scotia from the Air is both a photo book and an historical study. Wagg flew over towns and landmarks from one end of the province to the other, recreating scenes from archival photos dating back to the 1930s. This remarkable collection of then-and-now images shows both the growth and the decline of this province by the sea. The 100 photographs evoke nostalgia and surprise.
