The Africville Relocation Report of 1971, by Don Clairmont and Dennis Magill, documents the story of the residents of Africville, whose homes and lands were expropriated by the City of Halifax during the 1960s.

Many years later, this seminal report continues to be a primary source for study in many areas of scholarship including local and Canadian history, African Canadian studies, law, sociology, social work, municipal politics and public administration, urban planning, and environmental racism.

As a publication of the Institute of Public Affairs, this research study is an enduring manifestation of the intellectual capital of Dalhousie University. The digitized version of this report was created as a initiative of the Dalhousie University Libraries in the summer of 2005, with the assistance of MLIS Interns Rebecca Bartlett and Ken Allen, with the advice of Vivian Hannon of the Electronic Text Centre.
