Childhood is a time of great change and development, and the mid-Victorian period was no exception. In Nova Scotia, as in other parts of the British Empire, the mid-Victorian period was a time of rapid social and economic change. The province's population was growing rapidly, and its economy was undergoing a transition from a rural to an industrial base. These changes had a profound impact on the lives of children, who were increasingly expected to contribute to the family economy and to prepare themselves for a life in the workforce.
