Today we're taking part in the Omushkego Youth Treaty Conference in Timmins, where youth from 8 First Nations are gathering to learn about their rights and the importance of treaties. The Archives' copy of Treaty No. 9 (The James Bay Treaty) is on display at the event. #TreatyON

The #queensu community mourns the loss of Chancellor Emeritus Murray Sinclair, who passed away on Nov. 4 at age 73. One of Canada’s most significant advocates for Indigenous rights, his dedication to equity and inclusion transformed the nation. At Queen’s, his leadership guided the university’s path toward truth and reconciliation.

Great start to #TreatiesRecognitionWeek. Thanks for inviting us to be part of the events @ArchivesOntario @torontolibrary @mcacgallery
We're honouring #TreatiesRecognitionWeek in Ontario (Nov. 3-9) by collaborating with @Mushkegowuk, @torontolibrary, @mcacgallery & @queensarchives to share Treaty 9 in Toronto and Timmins. Learn more about this treaty in the exhibit on our website: archives.gov.on.ca/en/explor….

No! Thank you!! A great talk that was well attended. We will let everyone know once it is available online for those that missed it. Or want to hear it again. It was that good!
Thank you @queensarchives for a fun evening! Thanks, too, @queenshistory and many other friends and colleagues for joining in. More nonconformity, less austerity!

Annual Archives Closure: May 6-17, 2024
Queen's University Archives will be closed to the public from during this period while staff completing a shelf read of our vaults to ensure that our records are complete and to review the condition of the vaults and collections.
The funding also supported transitioning all 1,122 digitized files to the Queen’s University Library Digital Collections platform as planned and giving a Queen’s undergraduate student, the Digital Alfred Bader Intern, experience in enhancing the metadata to increase access.
The first page of the diary transliterated and translated with support from the Digital Alfred Bader Fund. It is an exceptional individual source from the period of internment of minor refugees / deportees in Canada.
