Events › Historical Photo Scan-a-thon with Halifax Municipal Archives: Preserve & Share Images of Your Neighbourhood

Halifax Municipal Archives invites you to help them preserve our local history. If you have old photographs, slides, or negatives from your neighbourhood (or from Clayton Park, Fairview, Rockingham, and Wedgewood) showing what your area used to look like, bring them to this drop-in scan-a-thon.

Archivists will record everything you know about the images, then carefully scan them so you and future researchers will have a digital copy to share. Contributors can either donate the original photograph and keep a digital copy, or can donate the digital copy to the Archives and take the original back home with them.

We will also provide some advice and supplies to help best preserve records at home. Bring just a few photos for this scan-a-thon - we can make arrangements if you have a treasure trove to share.

Drop in anytime!

In partnership with Halifax Municipal Archives
