Welcome to Uncommon Bonds

Uncommon Bonds: Labrador Inuit and Moravian Missionaries is a three year partnership between the Nunatsiavut Government, Moravian Archives (Bethlehem, Pennsylvania), Moravian Church in Newfoundland and Labrador, Memorial University Libraries and the National Heritage Digitization Strategy focussing on the digitization and digital return of nearly 60,000 pages of archival resources concerning Labrador Inuit. This website is intended to help with the interpretation of these record as well as the broad range of digitized records resulting from contact between Labrador Inuit and Moravian missionaries.

The project is supported by a Digitizing Hidden Collections grant from the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR). The grant program is made possible by funding from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
