Loyalist Migrations is a partnership between the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada (UELAC), Huron University College’s Community History Centre, and Western Libraries’ Map and Data Centre. Our researchers use the genealogical records of the UELAC as well as other archival sources to reconstruct the migrations of thousands of exiles, refugees, economic migrants, settlers, and soldiers from all walks of life who fled the American Revolution. Not all migrants called themselves Loyalists and it is not the intention of this project to ascribe political motivations for their journeys. The migrations included a diverse array of settlers, Indigenous people, and African Americans who embarked on their journeys, willingly or forced, in search of safety and security in lands claimed by the British Empire.

The purpose of the Canadian Urban Data Repository (CUDR) is to provide a “home” for urban datasets. While primarily focused on datasets created by academe, it will also contain datasets created by NGOs, governments, citizens, and industry. Datasets stored in the repository will be open-access and will not contain personally identifiable information. The purpose of the Canadian Urban Data Catalogue (CUDC) is to enhance the awareness of urban datasets that exist across Canada by providing a catalogue of Canadian and Canadian-created urban datasets. It will catalogue datasets available in CUDR and external datasets available on other platforms and as web services. These external datasets may be open or closed. CUDC uses a rich metadata model that supports the documentation and search for datasets relevant to a user’s needs. Catalogue entry metadata may be exported and imported from/to CUDC.
