History

Uncommon Bonds: Labrador Inuit and Moravian Missionaries began as a three year partnership (2022-4) between the Nunatsiavut Government, Moravian Archives (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania), Moravian Church in Newfoundland and Labrador, Memorial University Libraries and the National Heritage Digitization Strategy focussing on the digitization and digital return of nearly 60,000 pages of archival resources concerning Labrador Inuit. The first phase of the project was supported by a Digitizing Hidden Collections grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources.

The project was developed and led by an advisory committee with expertise and experience in digital archives, Labrador Inuit archival records and heritage, and Moravian archival records and heritage.
