@queensarchives Very grateful to have the opportunity to travel with the MacMartin diary and to attend the Youth Treaty Conference!

[Archives of Ontario @ArchivesOntario]

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

[Queen's Archives @queensarchives]

The MacMartin diary is still on the road at the 3rd annual Youth Treaty Conference in Timmins. Sharing stories and knowledge about Treaty 9. #TreatiesRecognitionWeek

[Queen's University @queensu]

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.

Thank you @queensarchives for a fun evening! Thanks, too, @queenshistory and many other friends and colleagues for joining in. More nonconformity, less austerity!

Reference questions may still be directed to the Archives for triage and response after the closure.

[Queen's Archives @queensarchives]

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.

Alfred searched for Wohlauer after the war, learning in 1994 that he had changed his name to Henry Warner and had died in 1991. This letter is from digitized Alfred Bader fonds: https://t.co/3LkbA0BZZy

[Queen's Archives @queensarchives]

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.

[Queen's Archives @queensarchives]

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.
