The Collection includes a wide variety of documents pertaining to the history of Epekwitnewaq Mi’kmaq, including government documents such as proclamations, reports, and official correspondence; community texts such as petitions and appeals; private correspondence and writings; archival published material like pamphlets and newspaper accounts, and more.
