Job Summary


The Indian Residential School History and Dialogue Centre (IRSHDC) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is located on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓-speaking xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam people).

With a mandate to support access to residential school records for Survivors, their families and communities, IRSHDC prioritizes respectful, Indigenous-led and trauma-informed research, information practice and education.

It facilitates critical dialogue about the Indian Residential School system, seeking to engage the UBC community and the broader public on the origins, effects and ongoing legacy of the schools.

IRSHDC has an active oral testimony program in service to Indigenous nations and is developing digital systems and spaces of inquiry to model a new platform for information stewardship.
