Last week, we were honoured to welcome Joanne Boudreau from the Fultz House Museum, who shared a special local history project she has been working on with a dedicated group of community volunteers and elders. Together, they are preserving an important collection of personal stories from African Nova Scotians who attended segregated schools in our local communities of Maroon Hill, Lucasville, and Cobequid Road.

Through their voices, photographs, and memories, we were invited to learn about an important and often difficult chapter of our shared local history. The stories were powerful, moving, and deeply meaningful, and we are grateful to those who chose to share their lived experiences with such honesty and courage.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the community members whose stories and images helped us better understand our past and listen more closely to the experiences of our neighbours. It was a meaningful reminder that learning our history helps shape how we think about the future and the community we hope to build together.

We are a member of the Council of Nova Scotia Archives.

Colleagues and friends near and far: Nova Scotia's archival community needs your help! 🆘

As many of you know, the recently tabled 2026-27 Nova Scotia Provincial Budget included significant cuts across the arts, culture, and heritage sectors. While the majority of these reductions – totalling $130 Million – fall within the Department of Communities, Culture, Tourism and Heritage (CCTH), one program critical to archives in Nova Scotia, falls outside of that department.

The Provincial Archival Development Program (PADP) – a modest but foundational $50,000 funding program administered by the Nova Scotia Archives – falls under the Department of Service Nova Scotia.

WHY PADP MATTERS

We are very grateful that CCTH has maintained the CNSA’s annual operating grant. At the same time, we are deeply concerned by the decision within Service Nova Scotia to eliminate PADP.

👉 PADP is the only funding program in Nova Scotia specifically tailored to the needs of archives.

For an overview of projects funded through this program, please see the compiled PADP Adjudication Reports from 2018–2025, prepared by the Chair of PADP Adjudication, CNSA's Vice President:https://www.councilofnsarchives.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2018-2025-PADP-projects.pdf

PADP's elimination, combined with the recent discontinuation of the federal Documentary Heritage Communities Program (DHCP), leaves the province’s 100+ archival institutions with very few options for advancing archival projects.

This is a serious loss for the archival community and for the documentary heritage these institutions preserve on behalf of the public.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

We believe it is important that the provincial government hears from archivists, heritage workers, researchers, and community members – near and far – about the value of archives to communities and the potential impact of PADP's elimination.

We encourage you to write to Service Nova Scotia to express your concern and request that they restore PADP. To make this easier, we have created a customizable template letter.

1. Download the Template Letter from here: https://www.councilofnsarchives.ca/help-save-padp/

2. Personalize it: As an archival colleague, your voice brings important perspective on the unique and essential role of archives and funding programs like PADP play in supporting archival work.

3. Email your letter to:
> Minister Jill Balser: [email protected]
> Deputy Minister Joanne Munro: [email protected]

Please help us show Service Nova Scotia that Nova Scotia's documentary heritage is not 'discretionary' – it is essential to communities, institutions, and public life in this province.
