Nova Scotia Archives Library - FC2323.1 D38 P76 2014 - Open Shelf
Lumber baron, gold miner, politician, inventor, self-taught mechanical engineer, family man, generous benefactor, and candid diarist — E.D. Davison was a keen observer and an acutely enthusiastic participant in all aspects of life on the South Shore of Nova Scotia in the 1800s. He revelled in the new technology of steam engines, water-powered turbines, electricity, telephones and trains, while paying homage to the old way of life he knew growing up in Mill Village. Author Catherine Pross worked as a librarian at the Nova Scotia Public Archives. There she discovered parts of the diary of Edward Davison, her ancestor.

Nova Scotia Archives Library - FC2312 M32 2015 - Open Shelf
Wallace MacAskill (1887-1956) is one of Nova Scotia's foremost photographers, lauded for his portraits of seascapes, sailing and fishing ships, and picturesque landscapes. In this collection of then and now photographs, Len Wagg follows in the footsteps of 50 of MacAskill's best shots, recreating them in colour contemporary portraits. Through side-by-side comparisons, readers see how much has changed, and how much has remarkably remained the same. Included are urban streetscapes, important events and monuments, and spectacular scenery from around the province -- Halifax to Louisbourg, Chester to Pictou. The photographs are captioned with short anecdotes conveying the significance of the images and the process of finding the location for some of MacAskill's original work.
