The people at Nova Scotia Archives have been busy lately updating their website to make it easier to search the vital statistics collections.
While the majority of reviews about the update have been positive, a few seasoned users grumbled on social media about being confused or disoriented during their initial attempt at searching for birth, marriage and death records. After spending a couple of minutes exploring the new search format, new and experienced researchers generally like what they see.
You can do a simple search or a more detailed one by clicking on the More Search Options. There’s also an advanced search for bride and groom.
Perhaps the biggest improvement with the update is the ability to download birth, marriage, and death records with a simple right-click of the mouse.
The update also makes it easier to enlarge the image of a record.
