The news in Canada this summer is troubling, with stories of unmarked graves on the sites of former Indian Residential Schools. Searches are being done on other former school sites, and in the United States as well. The little that was ever taught in public schools about the Residential School system is not enough, and people are looking to learn more.
Forensics is the science of examining physical evidence. There can be a forensic audit of paperwork and records, but forensic science is commonly used to study physical evidence of a crime.
Here are some books on forensic science which you can request at your public library, or order online. If you take this list to a library or bookstore, they will help you get a copy. There are other books as well available on this topic, and referenced in the back of these books.
