    Archiviste de référence / Reference Archivist
    Archives des jésuites au Canada / The Archive of the Jesuits in Canada


    Location: Montréal, Qc
    Compensation: $42,000 to $47,000 depending on experience and qualification

    ARCHIVES DES JÉSUITES AU CANADA


    La Compagnie de Jésus est un ordre religieux catholique fondé en 1540 par Saint Ignace de Loyola et ses premiers compagnons. Les jésuites sont présents au Canada depuis 1611 et l'histoire de la Compagnie de Jésus au Canada est intimement associée au développement de l'Église catholique et de la société civile au pays. À ce titre, les archives des jésuites au Canada représentent un patrimoine à être conservé et diffusé.

    La mission de la Compagnie de Jésus est vouée au service de Dieu et du prochain. Récemment, les jésuites ont exprimé cet objectif comprenant un ensemble d'orientations guidant ses processus décisionnels et services. La première implique un cheminement vers Dieu à travers l'héritage des Exercices spirituels de Saint Ignace. La deuxième orientation consiste à marcher avec les personnes exclues, celles dont la dignité a été violée; dans une mission de réconciliation et de justice. Ensuite, les membres de la Compagnie visent à accompagner les jeunes dans le développement d'un futur rempli d'espoir. En dernier lieu, dans un esprit de collaboration, les jésuites sont dédiées à prendre soin de notre maison commune, la terre. Les Archives participent à cette mission, en étant une partie intégrante du travail intellectuel de la Compagnie de Jésus, en ouvrant ses portes aux chercheurs.euses et en engageant un dialogue avec elles et eux. Les AJC offrent un point d'accès à ses collections ainsi que des ressources concernant l'histoire des jésuites au Canada. Les AJC soutiennent la recherche des membres de la communauté jésuite, généalogistes, chercheurs.euses académiques, chercheurs.euses autochtones, artistes, étudiant.e.s et autres.

    Au Canada, la Compagnie de Jésus a un long historique de relations avec des populations autochtones, jusqu'à ce jour. Cette histoire comprend des lumières, mais également des parties plus sombres. En 2005, les jésuites du Canada ont énoncé un Acte de réconciliation dans le cadre de la Commission de vérité et réconciliation du Canada, dans lequel ils se sont engagés à soutenir activement la renaissance des langues et des cultures autochtones. Les AJC jouent un rôle primordial dans cet engagement en favorisant l'accès à ses ressources aux chercheurs.euses autochtones dédiés à cette renaissance et, dans un deuxième temps, en collaborant et en accueillant les chercheurs.euses effectuant des études sur le colonialisme et le système de pensionnat autochtone.

    La collection d'archives comprend plus de 1.5 km de documents textuels, plus de 500 000 photographies, plus de 1 000 cartes et documents cartographiques, des centaines de documents audiovisuels et ainsi que des documents nés-numériques. La collection Bibliothèque et livres rares AJC comprend plus de 37 000 livres et autre matériel publié, incluant 1 500 livres rares. La collection Art et objets contient des objets et œuvres d'art qui témoignent de la portée des activités des jésuites au Canada et partout dans le monde.
