During the present as well as the previous year, a large number of 

 historic sites in Halifax and elsewhere throughout the Province have 

 been marked by the Society with suitably inscribed metal tablets. This 

 has been greatly appreciated by the public. A large number of other 

 sites wall be similarly marked in the immediate future. 



Special efforts are being made to secure portraits of men prominent 

 in the history of the province, as well as photographs of old buildings 

 of note. 



The membership list has been very greatly increased. 



Volume XVI of the collections of the Society has been published 

 during the year, and contains six papers on a variety of historic subjects, 

 and a large number of illustrations. Vol. XVII is now in press.
