As Canada celebrates 150 years of Confederation, the Nova Scotian Institute of Science reflects on the many achievements of past and present Nova Scotian and Canadian scientists. Since the nineteenth century, NSIS has published research of regional interest in its journal, the Proceedings of the Nova Scotian Institute of Science. Back issues of the journal can be viewed online on the Dalhousie University’s Killam Memorial Library website.

In light of Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations, NSIS is pleased to offer free copies of the print issues of the Proceedings from volume 1 – 45 (1863 to 2010). To request free issues of the Proceedings, please contact Carol Richardson by email ([email protected]) or phone (902-494-5198). Advance notice is needed to allow time to retrieve copies of the journal from storage. The issues can either be set aside for pickup at the Killam Memorial Library (Halifax) or can be mailed to you (postage fees apply). A cheque to cover postage fees must be received by Carol prior to mailout of copies of the publication.
