*Residential School Response: How Museums and Archives Can Provide Support*


*March 15th 2023Noon*

The Ministry of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation is supporting First
Nations across BC as they lead the way to locate, document, and protect
burial sites associated with former Indian Residential Schools and Indian
Hospitals in BC. A key part of the investigative process is locating state
and church records that may be relevant to this research. This includes
information specific to burial sites as well as information that provides
context for the day-to-day experiences of Indigenous children at these
institutions.

This research, combined with the increasing interest among former students,
their families, and their communities to find records for personal,
historical, or other purposes, has resulted in an exponential increase in
the volume and complexity of record access requests. *With the goal of
supporting connections between communities and local BC museums and
archives, this session aims to provide an overview of the work currently
happening across BC, discuss potential research barriers and challenges,
and consider how BC archives and indigenous communities can work
collaboratively to locate, access and transfer Residential School records.*
