Denise and Brenda’s Excellent Nova Scotia Archives Adventure.

Thomas Beamish Akins (1809-1891), first Provincial Archivist of Nova Scotia.

Denise Rice has been a Mapannapolis volunteer since the beginning. Her own research into the cemeteries and churches of Annapolis County, along with the invaluable previous work of Dr. Alan Marble, resulted in the book which forms the basis of our storymap, Explore Garrison Graveyard.

A recent Facebook post , above, offers a chance to show how our Explore Garrision Grave yard story map works. Management

The remaining 234 standing stones at Fort Anne National Historic Sites’ Garrison Graveyard may be searched alphabetically or by the stone’s number. In this case we chose the dropdown menu for the latter, William Rodda’s being #102.

This is the welcome page, with instructions and a handy map of Garrison’s 234 standing stones.

Denise (or Denise J. Rice, the name you’ll see on her books, ) took her passion for Annapolis County heritage and, with Mapannapolis, made it available to the world at-large through the storymap here.

Ace researcher Brenda Thompson may be found here.
