Donations may be made by cheque, e-transfer to "archives@ccgsns.com" or through Paypal by hitting the Donate Button, above - please add a note to say it is for the microfilm reader/printer. Or drop by the office Thursday - Saturday from 10 AM - 4 PM

Comments have been added to reflect conflicting data found through additional research.
