Project Description: The expedition journals kept by W.E. Parry during his visits to the Northern Foxe Basin in the years 1821-1823 will be organized, excerpted and annotated under approximately 100 thematic headings and sub-headings. These journals provide the earliest written records of this area. The project will emphasize Inuit ethnology but will include geography, toponymy, biology, botany and climatology.
