In this session we will discuss how two Métis documents were captured in the University of Saskatchewan’s Archives and Special Collections’ archival finding aid and library catalogue. Taken as a case study, these two documents provide an opportunity to consider these search tools, how they were/are created, the functions they served in the past, and how they can be improved in the present. They also provide an example of how directly interacting with materials can clarify and improve metadata, making collections accessible to Indigenous communities.
