Black Loyalists' historical archives, documenting their fight for freedom and rights in 1780s Canada, are now on UNESCO’s global heritage list.
The "Black Loyalists in Canada: Autonomy, Advocacy, Community, Legacy" archival collection has been added to UNESCO’s Canada Memory of the World Register, honoring its national significance.
Held by institutions in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, the archives document the experiences of Black Loyalists who fled the U.S. after the American Revolution and settled in Canada in the 1780s.
The collection includes petitions, land records, court documents, church ledgers, and personal accounts revealing their struggles for freedom, land, and rights amid racism and broken promises.
UNESCO’s recognition highlights their resilience, advocacy, and lasting impact on Canadian history.
