The Circumpolar Navigator project acknowledges the existence of harmful content in many publications and historical materials within this initiative. We recognize the potentially painful heritage of some of our collections and seek to address its impact on research and culture today.
The Circumpolar Navigator project aims to bring together Arctic and sub-Arctic collections from a wide range of northern heritage materials that will provide access for modern researchers to previously hidden sources of information that can offer data and insights on multiple subjects.
