Abstract

In 2017, a small collection of survey plans in the custody of Library and Archives Canada (LAC) grew exponentially when Natural Resources Canada’s Office of the Surveyor General transferred over 90,000 original survey maps and field books from the Canada Lands Survey Records (CLSR). Dating as early as 1769, these underused archival records document the survey, settlement, and sustainable use of Crown Lands. Among many other things, the CLSR collection documents Canada’s Indigenous history and culture such as the distribution of language groups, treaty rights, the location of Residential Schools and Indian reserves, and Indigenous land use and occupation. Through these, we can see the history of Indian reserves, National Parks, military bases, railway development, the fur trade, and the Arctic. As we will see, the records also help tell the story of the significant Indigenous contribution to the Klondike Gold Rush.
“世界惊人的发现”-加拿大土地调查记录中的故事
2017年,加拿大自然资源部测量长办公室从加拿大土地调查记录(CLSR)移交了90000多份原始调查地图和实地调查书籍,加拿大图书馆和档案馆(LAC)保管的少量调查计划呈指数级增长。早在1769年,这些未被充分利用的档案记录就记录了对皇家土地的调查、定居和可持续利用。在许多其他方面,CLSR收藏记录了加拿大的土著历史和文化,如语言群体的分布、条约权利、寄宿学校和印第安人保护区的位置,以及土著土地的使用和占领。通过这些,我们可以看到印度保护区、国家公园、军事基地、铁路发展、毛皮贸易和北极的历史。正如我们将看到的,这些记录也有助于讲述土著人对克朗代克淘金热的重大贡献。
