The Evolution of Nova Scotia's Coordinate Referencing Systems

Despite its rich history, the evolution of the coordinate referencing system in Nova Scotia has not been well documented. As the foundation for the property boundary fabric and land registration system for the province, it is critical that this knowledge is maintained. It is the key to being able to link surveys of the past with the pres ent. This research strives to capture important coordinate referencing knowledge from those that have worked with the system and have since retired from the Nova Scotia provincial government or former Land Registration and Information Service. A detailed review of documentation discussing various historical aspects of coordinate referencing in Nova Scotia was conducted. Personnel involved with the implementation of the systems were interviewed to pro vide first-hand accounts of operational details. This information is captured and is presented chronologically. An outlook on the future of the coordinate referencing program is also discussed.

This is the second of two papers examining the new Land Titles Act in New Brunswick. The first paper reviewed trends and developments in land registration systems against which this legislation has been measured. This paper describes the new act in general and makes a critical review of various aspects. The review concentrates mainly on administrative and technical issues with particular emphasis on surveying and mapping. In recognition that the new legislation cannot be examined in isolation, the existing conveyancing and deeds registration system is briefly described, as is the existing cadastral survey system and the operation of the Land Registration and Information Service (LRIS) in the province.

Without understanding the past can be neither a viable present and no decent future. The appeal of the nation to its history – this is not an attempt to escape from the present and uncertainty about the future. This understanding of who we are, where we came from. Based on our experience, we can confidently move forward. Not happen in the Russian revolution, which way went the history of the world? Can we learn from the past to prevent another disaster? The lessons of history are there – they just need to be able to retrieve. The main lesson we can learn from what happened in 1917 – the need to value human life. Russia of the late XIX – early XX century was an incredible human potential.

Land Titles

A proper land registration system, affording security of title at reasonable expense, is essential for the development of a dynamic and progressive economy. Such a system should indicate, quickly and cheaply, to interested persons what lands are being dealt with in any proposed transaction and what legal interests exist in those lands. The present registry system in Nova Scotia does not provide this information readily. The remedy appears to lie in adopting a Torrens system of land titles similar to that which has already proven itself in the western provinces of Canada. The basic advantages of the Torrens system over the registry system are enumerated.

Special collections of religious and theological materials have been part of the landscape of academic libraries in North America from their beginnings. This collection of ten articles treats several aspects of this rich history in three sections: the first deals with the history of specific collections at four libraries; the second treats current attempts to use special collections in teaching and the outreach mission of the library, including the development and use of digital technologies; and the third explores topics related to building library collections for the future, noting both pitfalls to be avoided and intriguing opportunities.
