Canadian Midwives of Colour History Project : Bibliography

<p dir="ltr">In this archive the reader will find the primary and secondary sources collected as part of the Canadian Midwives of Colour History Project from which knowledge translation and mobilization projects were derived. This body of resources provides evidence of the existence of previously hidden African or Black midwives who were nation-builders in Canada, who practiced safely as evidenced by the birth registrations of healthy, live infants, and Black midwives who acted as community leaders in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia, Canada. The collection includes government issued documents such as census, birth registrations, immigration documentation and historical publications revealing identity, migration and settlement activities of Black midwives' families. This archive may be utilized for future exploration and knowledge mobilization by future scholars and learners. These sources are not exhaustive but provide a seminal collection that are connected to reproductive health, midwifery work and activism, Black Canadian history and Canadian immigration and settlement trends from 1800 the 1960s.
