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.

Arquivo.pt is a research infrastructure that preserves millions of files collected from the web since 1996 and provides a public search service over this information. It contains information in several languages. Periodically it collects and stores information published on the web. Then, it processes the collect data to make it searchable, providing a “Google-like” service that enables searching the past web (English user interface available at https://arquivo.pt/?l=en). This preservation workflow is performed through a large-scale distributed information system and can also accessed through API (https://arquivo.pt/api).
