This is a school project on Nova Scotia created by a Connecticut boy named John in the late 1940s or early 1950s. The project is bound in a hinged wooden binder with a hand-rendered image of the Nova Scotian flag and the words "Nova Scotia" on the front cover. The binder contains 18 individual sheets of construction paper, two of which are blank and serve as endpapers. Pieces of lined paper featuring John's handwritten report on Nova Scotia are affixed to some of the sheets of construction paper. Corrections to spelling or punctuation appear in some areas of the report. Several postcards and images from tourist materials are also affixed to the pages. The report also includes a hand-drawn (though possibly traced) and labeled map of Nova Scotia. Substantial yellowing is present throughout, but the project has otherwise been fairly well protected by the wooden binder. Some pages do display some creasing and signs of wear.

Binder measures roughly 12.75"x10"
