Queens County Museum ⇻
The Thomas Raddall Research Centre provides researchers with access to numerous historical and genealogical records.
We are currently working to review and update all our Research Centre records. While that review is underway, the online listings has (temporarily) been removed from the dedicated website. However, you can access the records in-person at the Research Centre, housed in the Queens County Museum, 109 Main Street, Liverpool, Nova Scotia, Canada. The fee to use the centre is $5.00 per day.
To access our genealogical records, please call us to book an appointment. This allows us time to prepare in advance, and plan to be available to help answer your questions.
