In 1884 the Government of Canada began a program to collect death statistics from major Canadian cities. The program continued in Halifax until 1908, when the Government of Nova Scotia assumed responsibility for the registration of deaths in the province.

Two registers for the City of Halifax have survived from this federal project, totalling 457 pages. They cover the years 1890-1908 and include 17,890 entries. In 2004 they were transferred to NSARM from the Vital Statistics Office of Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations. Records for the years 1884-89 appear not to have survived.

The database index is presented here in fully searchable format, along with the two registers, fully digitized. Names appearing in the database are directly linked to their corresponding pages in the registers, for maximum research efficiency. The register pages can be examined in detail using the
