New residential school records will soon be made available thanks to an international collaboration.
That collaboration will give the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation full access to residential school documents held by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.
Indigenous children were forced to attend 48 residential schools operated by the Oblates at the height of the tragedy.
But now, they say they are committed to transparency in releasing all materials that may lead to the identification of missing children or other significant discoveries.
Records such as historical documents or letters sent by early missionaries could be housed internationally in the Oblates archives in Rome.
