Documents and Reports

The journey and arrival of the Komagata Maru garnered attention at the local and international level. Collected here are documents that set the context for the government’s view of Indian immigration to Canada including such items as communications between the Great Powers prior to World War One, private correspondences, transcripts from community meetings, court transcripts, and interviews. This rich collection of primary sources are organized according to topic and theme. A great deal of credit for this resource goes to H.H. Stevens, a Member of Parliament from 1911 to 1940 who donated many of his private notes and correspondences to the City of Vancouver.
