- Historical Land Title Research at the Land Title and Survey Authority (LTSA) by Kate Mix & Emma Bowick Land title systems can be colonial instruments of dispossession that structure present-day inequalities. Mix and Bowick traced the historical private-property acquisitions of UVic’s land parcels form the LTSA records since the 1850s. This enables CICR: UVic Research Collective and other researchers to ask critical questions about the land title system that dispossessed Lək̓ʷəŋən peoples from what is presently known as campus lands. As a part of their research, they: • accessed and organized current and cancelled land titles; mapped the changes to land titles that obscured the scale of original land grants; • documented the Hudson’s Bay Company and Crown land grants that created the patterns for later settler landholding; • created a “How-To” Guide that will support researchers in conducting land title research at the LTSA. This guide can be accessed in the digital repository. This research emphasizes that land title systems are not neutral. They are colonial instruments of dispossession that structure inequities still present today. How can structural inequities created by colonial land title systems be corrected?
