The Nova Scotia Road Network (NSRN) is the authoritative source for road centerlines in the province. This 3D coverage contains addressed roads and non-addressed roads and has several descriptive attributes to define a roadway such as number of lanes, surface type, and road class. The NSRN is used to contribute the Nova Scotia portion of the federal National Road Network (NRN).

The NSRN is available in the UTM projection with the following two datums:
• UTM/NAD83v3 & CGVD28 horizontal & vertical datum.
• UTM/NAD83v6 & CGVG2010 horizontal & vertical datum. (This version is currently only available via the NS Geographic Data Directory)

Civil registration of marriages in Nova Scotia began in 1758, with the introduction of procedures for obtaining a marriage license. The license was optional, surviving records are incomplete, and 'calling the banns' remained the preferred procedure for formalizing the marriage ritual. The parallel custom of posting a Marriage Bond, in addition to taking out a license, also dates from this early period. The bond was an optional adjunct which served to indicate the absence of legal impediments to the intended marriage; an incomplete series of these bonds exists for the years 1763-1864. Mandatory civil registration of marriages began in 1864 and has continued since, although compliance was not universal throughout the province until the early 20th century.
