Historic Sherbrooke Village Development Society Digital Collections In the summers of 2002, and 2003, Sherbrooke Village's history went digital as a part of Canada's Digital Collections . The following Digital Collections were produced with financial assistance from Canada's Digital Collections Initiative, Industry Canada. On the Rising Tide: The Fortunes of the Cummingers of Sherbrooke The story of this merchant family was in many ways the story of Sherbrooke itself. As the Cummingers prospered, so too did the Village of Sherbrooke. The economic underpinnings of the region - gold, lumbering and shipbuilding - were the very things which contributed to the Cumminger fortunes. The Cumminger story offers a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of a leading merchant-class family during Nova Scotia's "Golden Age" around the period of Confederation. With These Two Hands: The Commerce of Sherbrooke The historic story of commerce in Sherbrooke is a proto-typical story of small town Nova Scotian country life around the end of the 19th century. It is one which will illustrate that rural Nova Scotia has been, and can again be, a vibrant part of the Canadian economy. In the past Sherbrooke's link to the world was through the sea, and products produced locally were either consumed locally, or exported to faraway destinations over great periods of time.
