About UBC's Residential School History & Dialogue Centre

The Residential School History & Dialogue Centre (RSHDC) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. With a mandate to support access to Residential School records for Survivors, their families, and communities, the RSHDC works to generate inclusive dialogue that is transparent and trauma-informed, and build information practices, research, and education around Residential Schools and related systems. With a framework that privileges respectful, equitable, and Indigenous-informed access to records and information, the RSHDC is developing digital systems and spaces of inquiry to model a new platform for information stewardship.
