After more than a decade of being hidden away in a damp basement, records daring back co the opening of Halifax's Victoria General Hospital (VGH) in 1887 have been restored to the Nova Scotia Archives. As the tertiary-care hospital in Nova Scotia, citizens from all pares of Nova Scotia have been cared for at the VGH, and the records describe the development of health care in Nova Scotia over a 100-year period.
