Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre

January 1, 1970

Shingwauk Residential Schools Centre – The Centre at Algoma University has signed a memorandum of Understanding with the IRSHDC to share data, information and collaborate on ongoing community engagement and research projects – making records more accessible and usable for Survivors and communities. Both the IRSHDC and the SRSC work with Survivors, church entities, educators and Indigenous communities to research, collect, preserve and display the history of residential schools across Canada. This MOU allows the centres to share digital records as well as expertise and knowledge among staff, and create opportunities to co-develop resources for both education and community engagement. Both spaces serve communities in virtual and physical spaces that are Survivor-centered and trauma informed. This partnership supports reciprocal sharing of knowledge that will benefit communities.
