Expanded Hours and Services

NSARM is pleased to announce that beginning on 24 May 2006, the Public Archives Building at 6016 University Avenue, Halifax, NS will be open Wednesday evenings until 9:00 p.m. For researchers able to visit in person, this boosts the number of open hours to a total of 52.5 per week. For those who work during the day or live outside Halifax, extended hours on Wednesday evenings provides more flexibility in planning a research visit.
