Archives Research Project: Uncovering YWCA Metro Vancouver's History

YWCA Metro Vancouver is seeking a skilled researcher to lead Phase 2 of our Archives Research Project. This project aims to uncover the organization's involvement in Indian residential schools, Indian hospitals, and practices of assimilation, and to work towards healing relationships with Indigenous and First Nations communities.

Project Background

In 2023, YWCA Metro Vancouver initiated a multi-phase research project to better understand our relationship to residential schools and Indian hospitals, our complicity in practices that encouraged assimilation and their impacts, and then to identify potential steps for apology and redress.

Research Objectives
  • To conduct a thorough exploration into the organization's archival materials to document, summarize, and interpret the organization's relationship with Indigenous communities, using a gendered lens.
  • To identify and explore other public archives as needed.
  • To analyze gathered materials and identify gaps.
  • To provide updates to the YWCA on progress and share back high-level findings.
  • To determine report format in collaboration with the YWCA and potential community partners.
  • To draft and finalize report for review and feedback.
  • To conceptualize a plan that the organization can use to move forward in the spirit of Reconciliation, including guidance on further research, and engagement and redress to individuals and communities impacted by the YWCA's historical actions.
Requirements
  • Demonstrated expertise in addressing issues related to Indigenous history, archival research, trauma-informed research, and knowledge on how to implement OCAP Principles and CARE Principles.
  • Capacity to conduct research within the specified timeline and budget.
  • Relevance of previous research examples and references.
Submission Instructions

Please submit a proposal that includes the following:

  • A demonstration of your expertise in addressing issues related to Indigenous history, archival research, trauma-informed research, and knowledge on how to implement OCAP Principles and CARE Principles.
  • An outline that includes your approach to the research, proposed activities, and timeline, and a budget for the completion of the work.
  • A demonstrated understanding of the steps and capacities needed to conduct a research project of this size.
  • One to two examples of previous research.
  • Two references.
Evaluation Criteria
  • Alignment with the objectives and scope of the research.
  • Demonstrated connection to Indigenous communities and expertise in Indigenous research methodologies, community engagement, trauma-informed approaches, OCAP principles, as well as a demonstrated ability and capacity to understand diversity of Indigenous protocols.
  • Capacity to conduct research within the specified timeline and budget.
