NEW Online Guide
For Aboriginal Genealogy
Posted by:Rick Roberts, GlobalGenealogy.com Inc.
Library and Archives Canada is adding a new
guide to its virtual Canadian Genealogy Centre. Titled Researching Your
Aboriginal Ancestry at Library and Archives Canada, the guide is designed for
those who wish to undertake genealogical research on their Aboriginal
ancestors at Library and Archives Canada.
The production of this guide by the Canadian Genealogy Centre is part of a
collaboration between Library and Archives Canada and Aboriginal
researchers. The Centre also intends to work with Aboriginal communities and
other partners on a second part of the guide, which would provide even more
information on the sources available to researchers throughout Canada.
According to Richard Collins, who wrote the guide and is one of the
Aboriginal genealogy specialists at Library and Archives Canada, "the best
part of this new tool is that it allows everyone to acquire the proper
methodology to do effective genealogical research while avoiding numerous
pitfalls."
The wealth and diversity of Canada's Aboriginal cultures bring a unique
quality to the lives of many Canadians. More and more people find pride in
seeking out their Aboriginal roots as they turn to Library and Archives
Canada for help in their research.
To access Researching Your Aboriginal Ancestry at Library and Archives
Canada, you can go to the Canadian Genealogy Centre Web site at
www.genealogy.gc.ca, click on "How To" then click on "Guides."
The Canadian Genealogy Centre is made possible through the support of the
Canadian Culture Online Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
