The virtual exhibit presented here features, in digitized format, several photographs taken at the time of the Titanic disaster, plus a variety of records documenting the recovery, identification and disposition of several bodies retrieved onsite and brought into Halifax. The latter documents form part of the records of the Medical Examiner, City of Halifax and Town of Dartmouth (1895-1967), which office was involved in the Halifax-based response to the Titanic catastrophe.
