The sub-series relates to the creation and administration of various schools including Indian Residential Schools (IRS) and orphanages in the Oblate Province of Alberta-Saskatchewan area. The Indian Residential School (IRS) system was established and developed by the federal government in the 19th century, and was overseen by government officials and by various Christian churches and religious organizations throughout Canada. The major denominations were involved, including Anglican, United, Methodist, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic churches, as well as the Oblates of Mary Immaculate and various religious communities of sisters. The government system was implemented to educate First Nations children, but in practice became one of systematic assimilation and cultural genocide. Residential schools would operate for more than one hundred years.

The Oblates operated 48 schools in Canada. As missions were established, so were boarding schools to evangelize and reach the communities. The goal was to give students a scholastic and religious education, and in some schools, an understanding of industrial or agricultural knowledge. The churches received a monetary grant from the government for each child at a school. The IRS employed Oblates as principals, administrators and teachers, and religious sisters worked at the school, as did lay staff as cooks, farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths and janitors.
