Fonds · 2004-2006

The transferred materials are almost entirely related to the public hearings and meetings of the Commission of Inquiry. These materials are : transcripts and CD audio recordings of the Commission’s public sessions; books of documents entered as exhibits before the Commission including separate books of documents produced for disclosure to all parties prior to the Commission’s hearings; and the final submissions and arguments of parties.

Collection · 2003
Collection was created during 8 field trips and consists of black and white photographic negatives and contact sheets of 60 post-Deportation (after 1764) Acadian cemeteries, supplemented with colour prints of the oldest surviving cemetery at St. Pierre Catholic Church in Chéticamp on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, and a typed inventory describing each negative. This is not a comprehensive collection of all Acadian grave markers. Rather, the photographs represent a sampling of grave stones and monuments dating from 1817 (earliest found) to 2002, selected by Dr. Ross for their physical characteristics, French language inscriptions and historical significance. Examples in wood, stone, concrete and metal are depicted, as well as representative family names and at least one World War I or World War II veterans’ grave marker from each parish community. The layout and geographical site of each cemetery is also captured. Dr. Ross organized the photographs by community and within each community, by church cemetery. She also created a written inventory describing each photograph including the French inscription with English translations, a provincial map showing cemetery locations and a final report to the funder outlining her cultural analysis. The photographs were taken by Deborah Trask. This Collection shows the influence of French culture, and in particular the longevity of the French language, in Nova Scotia’s Acadian-founded communities through an examination of cemeteries as cultural artifacts over time. 2013-032
Fonds · 2000-2014
Consists of applications from new or existing organizations for one of the two main fund-matching grants managed by the Department of Inclusive and Economic Growth. These two grants were the Nova Scotia Business Development Program (NSBDP) and the Manufacturing and Processing Credit (MPIC). The bulk of this material are the applications themselves, correspondence with the department, photocopies of receipts and cheques issued and a final timeline report if applicant was successful. The NSBDP was a grant that usually did not exceed more then ten thousand dollars in funding, the majority of these were requested for website development, auditing purposes, feasibility studies and succession planning. The funds had to be matched by the applicant, and funds were dispersed over a period provided applicants submitted staggered updates. The MPIC grants were much larger, most exceeding several hundred thousand dollars, with a cap of no more then one million dollars. The purpose of the grant was to allow business access to funds to make one-time purchases of newer equipment. The companies had to provide paperwork proving how the purchase would create better work processes or hire more people. Also includes meeting minutes of committees on employment and sustainability, some Minister and Deputy Minister’s correspondence, and a few other examples less prominent grants. There are also some materials from the early 2000’s when the department was still know as the Department of Business. 2023-016
Fonds · 1997-2003
Consists of files maintained by the office of the Minister and Deputy Minister of Finance during the period 1997 to 2002. The files originally were entered into a correspondence management system which assigned numbers to each document as it was placed filed into a numbered file which reflected a subject or correspondent in a fiscal year. The subjects cover all aspects of the department, economic policy and the financial situation of Nova Scotia. Most of the material was digitized and entered into an electronic system which collapsed prior to the original records being transferred to the Nova Scotia Archives. During this time period the development of Casinos, changes in federal transfers to the provinces and the division of offshore revenues were major issues. Additionally some records were from the office of Lynn Cody who from 2004 to 2011 was Associate Deputy Minister of Finance and who previously had been Director of Fiscal and Economic Policy. These records reflected the management of offshore revenue arrangements with the federal government as well as changes in equalization payments from the federal government to Nova Scotia. 2011-025
