am currently undertaking new research on the history of sanctuary in Canada from the 1800s to the present. I am looking at both religious and secular acts of sanctuary, meaning the tradition of protection offered by Judeo-Christian churches and other religious
institutions as well as protection offered by ethnic and local communities in the face of state efforts to arrest, prosecute or deport individuals for various reasons. I am particularly interested in instances when communities, religious or otherwise, offered
sanctuary in direct contravention of the wishes of the state (e.g. to wanted fugitives, refugees etc).

date, my research team has uncovered dozens of sanctuary by exploring digitized historical newspapers from across the country available on line. However, I believe the bulk of the relevant material related to sanctuary rests in the local communities where
sanctuary offers once took place. </font></div>

<div style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;">It is for this reason that I am now writing to you for help in identifying histories of sanctuary at the local level.
<span style="background-color:white;">I suspect that many stories of sanctuary are not captured in archival repositories but rather are housed in the memories of people who live and work in the communities where sanctuary once took place. I would therefore
appreciate any assistance in terms of tracking down local histories / local lore.</span><br>
