Métis Scrip Records is a searchable database of over 15,000 images of selected parts of original scrip records held in the National Archives of Canada. The federal government created a number of records in its day-to-day administration of the scrip that it issued to Métis residents of Manitoba and the former North-West Territories. The records generally consist of affidavits and applications, land and money scrip notes, scrip certificates, receipts, and a number of textual files consisting of letters and memoranda outlining government policies, rulings, and procedures. This database provides access to the affidavits and applications only.
