The mission of the ETRC is to act as a resource centre for the study of the Eastern Townships with a special focus on the English-speaking community. The ETRC was originally founded in 1982 by faculty members at Bishop’s University to further multidisciplinary research on the Eastern Townships through funding regional and community-based research projects, disseminating scholarly work in its own journal-Journal of the Eastern Townships Studies/Revue d’études des Cantons de l’Est (JETS/RÉCE), holding conferences and speaker forums, preserving archival collections and organizing the exhibitions. Its original name Eastern Townships Research Centre reflected this academic oriented focus. As of 2010, focusing on dissemination of knowledge at which we were always very successful, the mandate of the Centre has changed along with the name to show a new direction; one based more on partnering with community stakeholders in the collection and sharing of Eastern Townships’ archival resources. The ETRC is a bilingual, not-for-profit and incorporated organization with Bishop’s University as its parent organization.
