Finding Aids In The Military History Research Centre

The finding aids available from the Military History Research Centre (MHRC) are inventories or guides to specific collections of archival material or historical documents that are held in either the George Metcalf Archival Collection or the Hartland Molson Library. Each finding aid includes a description of the scope and content of a collection, notes on its arrangement, and a detailed inventory of the collection in order to assist researchers in locating relevant material.

Researchers interested in consulting materials outlined in the finding aids are required to make an appointment to allow adequate time for the retrieval of material. Please contact the MHRC three (3) working days in advance of your visit to book an appointment, and provide at that time a list of the materials you would like to consult during your visit.

To book an appointment please call 819-776-8652 or email us at mhrc-crhm@warmuseum.ca

Please note that finding aids have been created for only a small number of the MHRC’s collections. Researchers are encouraged to search the MHRC’s complete holdings via the Online Catalogue. Also, not all of the MHRC’s finding aids are available in electronic format. For information on the guides that exist only in paper form, please contact mhrc-crhm@warmuseum.ca . All of the finding aids are in the process of being translated; 10 of the 30 guides are currently available in English and French.
