New Website: Catholic Native American Boarding Schools

I'd like to bring to the attention of the group the release of a new resource for tracking archival holdings on Catholic-affiliated Native American Boarding Schools. The list of 87 schools in 22 states is provided here: https://ctah.archivistsacwr.org/ This is a work in progress. It would be helpful to the list compilers if the historical community could weigh in with corrections and suggestions for improvement.

Cordially,

The British colonial ‘migrated’ archives: a mentorship scheme for Nigeria-based early career researchers

British authorities covertly removed thousands of documents from colonised territories at around the time they won their independence, from the 1940s through to the 1980s. These papers include 413 files taken from Nigeria, that mostly cover late colonial politics.

Attention! Summer is coming! Before you head off to undertake fabulous research trips, would you be willing to commit to writing a blog post or two when you return? Our readers and I would love to learn from your trials and errors in physical archives and libraries. Or perhaps you’ll be engaging in research from the comfort of your own home? We’d be grateful to hear how you accomplished this. Perhaps you’re an archivist, looking to attract more patrons?
