Virtual Library

The East Hants Historical Society Virtual Library holds video and other virtual artifacts relating to the history and heritage of East Hants. It focuses on the exhibits found in the Lower Selma Museum & Heritage Cemetery, including new exhibits and interesting artifacts with stories behind them, such as wars, disasters, or technological developments that have had an impact on East Hants society. Another focus is on the live program presentations hosted by the Society within the East Hants community for members and guests. We hope that this addition to our website will bring East Hants history to a larger audience, especially an audience whose ancestral roots are here in East Hants. We also expect to provide an educational resource to the public and to local schools.
