Researching the Missing Children: An Introduction to Conducting an Archival Research Project
“Researching the Missing Children: An Introduction to Conducting an Archival Research Project” was developed as a resource to support Indigenous Nations in their ongoing work to find missing children and unmarked burials associated with residential schools.
The booklet provides an overview of how historical documents can support this work, and an introduction to the archival research process.
The booklet has been provided as a physical resource at the National Gatherings on Unmarked Burials that have been held across Canada.
It is now available online here: https://lnkd.in/ei6jVA4T
