Item · 1841-1994
Part of City of Halifax fonds
Item consists of a scroll which lists the names of elected Halifax aldermen from 1841 thru 1994, the year of the last city election prior to amalgamation. The roll consists of numerous sheets sewn together. Each new council was listed on a new sheet with the election date, and the names and signatures of aldermen. Once elected, aldermen swore allegiance to the monarchy and, accordingly, changes in reign are ceremoniously and beautifully marked (1901 - death of Queen Victoria, ascension of King Edward VII; 1910 - death of King Edward VII, ascension of King George V). Subsequent changes in reign are not marked. The roll also documents the city's move to a Board of Control system from 1913-1919. 102-1-0-1
