The finding aids available from the Military History Research Centre are inventories or guides to specific collections of archival material or historical documents that are held in either the George Metcalf Archival Collection or the Hartland Molson Library.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 Military History Research Centre three 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.
Please note that finding aids have been created for only a small number of the Military History Research Centre’s collections. Researchers are encouraged to search the Military History Research Centre’s complete holdings via the online collection. Also, not all of the finding aids are available in electronic format.
