The "Indian Missionary Record" known as the "Indian Record" from 1957 onwards, was published ten times a year by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
The Record was founded in 1938 at Qu'Appelle Indian School in Lebret Saskatchewan. Articles in the Record focused on Indigenous issues, events at Residential Schools, and legal decisions impacting Aboriginal people in Canada. The majority of the Residential School and Mission content focused on areas which the Grey Nuns were involved with. The tag line for the Record was "A National Publication for the Indians of Canada."
Series comprises publications about Residential Schools, created by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate and Indian Affairs. Series includes the serial publications “Indian School Bulletin”, “Indian Record” / “The Indian Missionary Record”, and “Le Courier du Keewatin”.
This series contains material which uses dated language and refers to Indigenous peoples using derogatory terms. Looking at this material might be triggering or distressing. A National Residential School Crisis Line has been set up to provide support to former Residential School students and their families. This 24-Hour Crisis Line can be accessed at: 1-866-925-4419.
This collection was given to the SRSC by the archivist at the archives of the Grey Nuns of Montreal. The publications are duplicates that remained after the treatment of the IRS fonds in the archive. They were given with the intention of digitization and OCR in order for them to be accessible to researchers online.
Basic conservation performed during processing.
