The Genealogical Association of Nova Scotia (GANS) will hold an open house Saturday, November 29, at 2:00 p.m., to welcome everyone to see their new library and office space in Dartmouth.
Several months ago, GANS resided in a former store in Halifax’s North End. Then, July 1, they received a notice of termination of their lease from the landlord, giving them three months to locate to new premises. They assembled a search team and listed their criteria. Within a couple of months, they found larger office space in the Quaker Landing Building in Dartmouth that exceeded their criteria.
The new location has a dedicated library area, a research room, and a large meeting room where GANS can hold monthly lectures and workshops. The office is located in a modern, secure, climate controlled office building that is well maintained. This means that the library and collections will be protected for use by members and the general public.
After an intensive search, GANS found new office space in the Quaker Landing Building, 33 Ochterloney Street, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Photo courtesy of the Genealogical Association of Nova Scotia.
