Yes, absolutely. The task of finding out what happened to the many thousands of students is truly difficult and daunting. If such an iconic image is still shrouded in mystery, I can imagine it must be even harder for others looking for information about their loved ones.
Thanks, Eric!
Best,

Thank you again, Naomi. I always wondered who Thomas Moore was, his full or Indian name, his family origin, the Residential School he resided in, how old he was in the before and after photo , did he finish school, year of enrollment and discharge. Now, multiply that one residential/industrial/mission school student by the several thousands of former students, it can be appreciated the scope and time (& resources) required to get a grasp of this aspect of the IRS experience, legacy, and impact.

Hi there Naomi,

I am a MA student in Cultural Heritage Management at the University of York, UK (but originally from BC). I am also researching a similar topic, although I am looking at what effects the treatment of the structures of the IRS (demolishment, adaptive re-use, abandonment) have had on the memories, values, and significance of these sites.
Your site has been very interesting and I would love the chance to trade some ideas with you as well.
