The Black Watch (RHR) of Canada Regimental Archives
Historical Research/Visitation The Black Watch (RHR) of Canada Regimental Archives are open to members of the academic and military community, as well as interested members of the general public. Please contact the Museum and Archives coordinator at 514-496-1686 ext 230 or at by e-mail to discuss your area of interest and make an appointment. As our Archival finding aides are works in progress, please allow for a reasonable delay while we search through our holdings and prepare documents for your visit. Please note that the Regimental Archives are not publically funded and depend largely on your contributions to remain accessible. A donation to the Museum Fund would be greatly appreciated to offset the costs of preparation and staffing the Regimental Archives. Copies of documents are available upon request, but relevant charges will apply. Personnel Records Personnel records represent roughly one third of the holdings of the Regimental Archives. The collection is at its most comprehensive for the 1910-1950 period, although we do hold limited personnel records from outside that range. Regrettably, owing to the high volume of requests received over the last several years, as well as our extremely limited resources with which to follow-up, we will no longer be accepting requests for copies and analysis of personnel documents for the time being. Once we have caught up, we will begin offering this service again. In the meantime, if you have a special request (for example, if you require information for the purpose of Veterans Assistance, please contact us by phone or email outlining the situation and we will do our best to help however we can. We look forward to following up on this shortly. Featured Content Below is a series of sample documents held in the Regimental Archives. As more of our documents are digitalized, we hope to make them accessible through this website. Please check back soon as we hope to add more content regularly.
