The Provincial Archives of New Brunswick was established in 1967 as the repository for the records of the Province. It also collects private records in all media, including maps, architectural plans, photographs, motion picture films and videos, sound recordings, microfilms, and published material. This guide is designed for family and local historians who wish to use Provincial Archives sources during a visit to the institution as well as through their local libraries.
Many of the Kings County records of particular value to the family historian have been microfilmed and are available on interlibrary loan. Your local library may order one to three films at a time.
It should be emphasized that many government documents have not been microfilmed and must be used at the Archives. Also most of the more than 2,000 private manuscript collections have not been filmed and must be used in person. This includes material in the Family Histories Collection (MC1) and in the New Brunswick Publications Collection (MC80).
