Archival Research Support,
Survivors’ Secretariat
Know History is honoured to work with the Survivors’ Secretariat to help identify missing children and provide insight into the day-to-day operations of the Mohawk Institute, an Indian Residential School in Brantford, Ontario.
Know History has worked closely with the Survivors’ Secretariat since 2022 to identify, collect, and database approximately 30,000 historical documents that provide insight into the daily life and operations at the Mohawk Institute. Know History provides support services to the Survivors’ Secretariat, including conducting archival research on the Mohawk Institute and children who were forced to attend it, organizing information, and responding to specific research requests from the Survivors’ Secretariat. We are very proud and honoured to undertake this work with the Survivors’ Secretariat, building on the work of survivors and generations of community members who have advocated for truth telling and sharing important histories.
