Digitization Projects
Mary Jane Logan McCallum, Indian Health Services Annual Reports, 1945-1992, select years.
This project features digitized Annual Reports of the Indian Health Services for select years between 1945-1992. The collection includes open access materials only, meaning that several reports are excluded from the collection. Each report is available separately on the University of Saskatchewan Indigenous Studies Portal (iportal). You can find all of the reports by searching 'IHS Reports.'
Mary Jane Logan McCallum and Felicia Sinclair, 2013. The Complete Indian News Collection, 1954-1982.
During the years of 1954 to 1982 the Department of Indian Affairs issued a publication called the Indian News that was intended for distribution amongst Canada's First Nations people. Originating as a quarterly publication and eventually becoming a monthly one, the Indian News covered an array of topics and issues related to Canada's First Nations people and their communities.
