About

The Digital Archive Database (DAD) project is a focused, contextualized, and integrated digital archive that brings together a number of historical-content databases in a common web-based archival format. The goal is to ensure that these historical-content databases are publically available to anyone pursuing policy, legal, genealogical, religious, or scholarly research-related projects.

While the researchers who compiled and transcribed these archival documents were engaged in Metis-specific research projects, they make no claim that the records exclusively narrate a Metis history or experience. The databases contain transcriptions of Protestant and Catholic sacramental registers, census data, and fur trade records that document the lives and experiences of a variety of peoples in contact with the institutions that created the original documents. As such, while users may find material relating to Metis individuals within the databases, they should understand that DAD is not a Metis-specific archive.

Since 2016, we continue to add historical materials and databases to the DADproject on a yearly basis.

Databases

There are five basic document sets currently contained within DAD: 1. Protestant and Catholic sacramental records (birth, marriage, death confirmation, liber animarum etc.) from a variety of missions between Ontario the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west; 2. Census’ from Red River and Manitoba and elsewhere; 3. Fur trade records from west of the Rocky Mountains; 4. The Voyageur Contracts Database and 5; Codex Historicus documents from various parishes in the Canadian West. The databases that comprise DAD were created through a number of distinct research projects undertaken by various members of the team since 2003 and contain over 500 000 transcribed records from:

3. Western North American Fur Trade Documents, 1793-1858:

This is a database developed from the 3 volume work, Lives Lived West of the Divide: A Biographical Dictionary of Fur Traders Working West of the Rockies, 1793-1858 by author Bruce Watson. This searchable database contains 3543 individual biographical entries, many cross-referenced into related groups. Lives Lived tells the story of those resilient individuals who were part of the fur trade which, during the first half of the 19th century, extended from northern British Columbia to southern Oregon. The work is a result of 20 years of research into the many individuals involved in the fur trade west of the Rocky Mountains and spans the international border from Northern British Columbia to southern Oregon. Avoiding the traditional fur trade historiography often written from the point of view of the decision makers, this more inclusive comprehensive biographical dictionary details the lives of the over 3,500 individuals who were involved in the fur trade during the period 1793-1858.

4. Voyageur Contracts Database

This database includes data from over 36,000 fur trade contracts signed in front of Montreal notaries between 1714 and 1830. It is currently the single largest collection of data regarding the contracts signed by people involved in the Montreal fur trade. The information collected from the contracts includes: family names, parishes of origin, hiring company, length of contract, destination(s), advances and wages, supplies, conditions of hire, the name of the notary, date of signing, and miscellaneous notes. The new iteration (2020) of the Voyageur Contracts database found on DADP contains new standardization of surnames, of merchant representatives, company names and location points, making for a more cogent and powerful research experience.

5. Codex Historicus

The historical codices (Codex Historicus) were used by Roman Catholic clergy to record significant events happening at various sites where they worked alongside Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous Nations. The languages of the codices hosted on the DADproject vary, from French, to English, to Latin.

  1. Battleford Codex historicus et notes historiques sur la mission de Saint Vital 1877-1901 (152 pages)
  2. Dunvegan AB Codex Miscellaneous parish records 1877-1895 (50 pages)
  3. Prince Albert Codex Historicus 1894 (14 pages)

Funders

The creation of the original historical-content databases as well as DAD were assisted by funding from the Crown-Métis Nation Relations in the Reconciliation Secretariat of the Crown-Indigenous Relations & Northern Affairs Canada (formerly the Métis and Non-Status Indian Relations branch of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada).

Research Team

Brenda Macdougall

Dr. Brenda Macdougall is currently the University Research Chair in Metis Family and Community Traditions and a Professor of geography at the University of Ottawa. Through her scholarship, she has worked extensively with (and on) historical Metis communities in across Canada documenting the connections and relationships between family members as a lens to understanding both Metis society and culture. In her role as research chair, Brenda oversees a number of significant research grants each of which is focused on tracing Metis family and, in turn, historical communities as she works to document the contours of a people. She has published articles in notable journals such as the Canadian Historical Review, Journal of Ethnohistory, and Labour/Le Travail while her first book, One of the Family: Metis Culture in Nineteenth Century Northwestern Saskatchewan, won the Canadian Historical Association’s 2011 Clio prize for best book in prairie history.

Ramon Lawrence

Dr. Ramon Lawrence is a Professor of computer science at the University of British Columbia. His research interests are database systems, embedded devices, and wireless sensor networks, and have resulted in over 50 publications. He is the founder of Unity Data Inc. (www.unityjdbc.com) that provides software for data integration from multiple sources and is a database consultant for enterprises, including Fortune 500 companies such as GE, requiring Big Data (and small data) solutions. Current work on MongoDB produced software for SQL querying and integrating MongoDB with enterprise relational systems that is used by numerous companies world-wide.

Jon Corbett

Dr. Jon Corbett is a Professor of Human Geography in the department of Community Culture and Global Studies at UBC Okanagan, the director of the Institute for Community Engaged Research (ICER) and the director of the Spatial Information for Community Engagement (SpICE) Lab. The practice side of his research explores how digital tools are used by communities to document, store and communicate their knowledge. The theoretical side examines how this representation can alter a community internally, as well as externally, through increasing influence over decision-making and agency in the process of social change. All aspects of his research incorporate a core community element, meaning that the work is of tangible benefit for the communities with whom he works; that those communities feel a sense of ownership over the research process; and that community members are engaged and engage in all aspects of the research endeavour.

Émilie Pigeon

Dr. Émilie Pigeon is an Assistant Professor of History at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom College and Coordinator of the Métis Family and Community Research Lab at the University of Ottawa. Dr. Pigeon is a specialist of Roman Catholic colonial history in North America whose approach to research is grounded in the digital humanities.
