Approximately 200 issues of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Quarterly (RCMP Quarterly) have been added to the collection at Canadiana.ca.
Included are Vol. 1, No. 1, for July 1933 to Vol. 30, No. 4 for April, 1965.
The journal, published by the RCMP includes reports of RCMP news, articles on the history and practices of the RCMP, accounts of social events and ceremonies, personal essays by RCMP members, and much more. For family history there is coverage of transfers, retirements, births, marriages, deaths and obituaries.
The whole collection is full-text searchable at https://www.canadiana.ca/view/sru.00004
I am interested in the RCMP archives as I wrote an article for one well known officer years ago. I wrote it for the Alberta Genealogical Society and had to cite sources of course. My attempts to get that information from the quarterly were stonewalled by the lead archivist at the time —- for years. I finally was able to get it myself, but what a struggle. Glad to know this information is now easily accessed.
Excellent news for research on members. Thank you! BT
