The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP) issued its final report in 1996. Much of the material collected by the commissioners during the inquiry was made available to the public on a cd-rom product titled For Seven Generations (kept available at UVIc Libraries on a virtual workstation). As required by the OIC establishing RCAP, the material gathered by the commissioners was transferred to the National Library (now Library and Archives Canada, LAC).
To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, Libraries and Archives Canada has created a new database containing digitized content of the material gathered by the RCAP commissioners and transferred to LAC.
See LAC’s blog post https://thediscoverblog.com/ for more information on the digitization project, methodology and scope.
According to LAC, “the database provides access to documents, such as intervenor project submissions, publications, research reports and hearing transcripts that supported the writing of the report of the RCAP”.
