How Archives Make Everything Better

Me: Oh, hey, Nocturne is this weekend, do you want to go?

Don: Um, not really, as much fun as going around and not being able to get into most of the venues could be.

Me: Oh no! We could go to the archives for Nocturne! There will be free I Heart Archives buttons! And also, they are wheelchair accessible!

Don: Ooh, that could be interesting!

And that's how the Nova Scotia Archives Saved Nocturne.

Also, look at this:

As a bonus... we're also having:

- a "listening station" available so folks can listen to folk songs and ghost stories recorded by Helen Creighton.
- an artist's desk recreated, featuring watercolours and handmade valentines.
- storage boxes from the Victoria School of Art and Design.
- Victorian-era marbled paper for you book-binding nerds.
- An amazing poster by one of the talented Prat sisters.
- Free popcorn!
- Free "I heart Archives" buttons!


Free popcorn. Seriously, I'm going to be sitting outside the doors at 6 with my face pressed against the glass, you just know it.
