Welcome to The New Brunswick Historical Society /Bienvenue au La Société historique du Nouveau-Brunswick

Exploring our history since 1874

While started informally in 1874, the New Brunswick Historical Society started its formal existence on April 6, 1882, when the Legislature passed a statute constituting the Society “for the purpose of promoting Historical and Scientific research and collecting, preserving and publishing all Historical and other facts and discoveries relating to the History of this Province or elsewhere”. It was the first such society dedicated to the history of the Province.
