Scotland's People, a partnership between the National Records of Scotland and the Court of the Lord Lyon, have released their statutory record release for birth (106,469), marriage (47,514) and death (59,729) records. According to the privacy laws of Scotland, birth records may be released after 100 years, marriages after 75 years and deaths after 50 years.
Births were lower due to World War I. Marriages showed an increase with foreign service men stationed in Scotland. Over the past 50 years the life expectancy has dramatically increased.

Library and Archives Canada (LAC) recently released its newest research tool, Collection Search . It is in Beta testing and they are asking the public to try it out and provide feedback. This new tool—an interface- allows the user to search Library records and Archive records. It adds a "tab" with using only one search term or phrase.
Note this is a Beta test so some glitches are expected. LAC will continually be making adjustments and improvements. Not everything is accessible yet via the new program. Check out the up-to-date list at:
