Archives are a great place to develop and use your skills of investigation. Archives work to preserve materials in their original context. 'Authentic', 'one-of-a-kind', and 'original' are all words used to describe archival materials. This makes them reliable and valid sources of information, or evidence of the past.
The maps and plans in this section feature areas of African Nova Scotian settlement and land use in Nova Scotia.
We invite you to explore these maps and plans, and have provided some 'questions to consider' that may help in your teaching and learning journey.
