  Digitization of historical records has produced a significant amount of data
for analysis and interpretation. A critical challenge is the ability to relate
historical information across different archives to allow for the data to be
framed in the appropriate historical context. This paper presents a real-world
case study on historical information integration and record matching with the
goal to improve the historical value of archives containing data in the period
1800 to 1920. The archives contain unique information about M\'etis and
Indigenous people in Canada and interactions with European settlers. The
archives contain thousands of records that have increased relevance when
relationships and interconnections are discovered. The contribution is a record
linking approach suitable for historical archives and an evaluation of its
effectiveness. Experimental results demonstrate potential for discovering
historical linkage with high precision enabling new historical discoveries.
