We welcome you to the Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre.

The records on our site emerge from the cultural and physical genocide that the Canadian government and churches conducted through the Indian Residential School System, including the ongoing impacts.

Bearing witness to these records may become overwhelming. If you are a Survivor or an Intergenerational Survivor and would like support, you can call the 24-hour National Indian Residential School Crisis Line at:

Description
The Deschâtelets-NDC Archives are the archives of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI), a Catholic organization. The OMI arrived in Canada in 1841 and in subsequent years administered fifty-seven residential schools. The archives houses two large collections: the historical collections of the Notre-Dame du Cap province (or religious jurisdiction) in Quebec and the Deschâtelets collection, comprising the administrative records of the OMI. The archives describes its role as "to acquire, process, conserve, improve accessibility and disseminate the documents created and received by the Oblates of the Notre-Dame-du-Cap province as part of their missions and activities."In 2011, the NDC Provincial Archives left Montreal, where it had long been located, and moved to Richelieu, Quebec.
