The Nova Scotia Calendar, or, An Almanack for the year of the Christian æra, 1788 investigates the astronomical, meteorological, and social conditions of Nova Scotia in the late 18th century.

This almanac likely served as a practical reference for the inhabitants of Nova Scotia, providing essential information for daily life, agriculture, and navigation. Its contents would have been shaped by the scientific understanding and societal norms of the late 18th century. The publication would have been a valuable resource for planning and understanding the year's events. Its existence points to a settled community with a need for such calendrical and astronomical data.
