在这篇文章中，我们带来了利物浦为基础的儿童移民机构的记录与“家”的儿童在加拿大图书馆和档案馆举行的档案，安大略（多伦多）的档案和多伦多档案天主教大主教管区。我们的目的是提供第一个研究，考虑为什么西北部出现在1860年至1930年期间的英国儿童移民中心，并检查其机构和代理人与加拿大的机构和代理人之间共享的移民基础设施，通过它，我们希望推进比较跨国研究儿童分离作为福利制度的一个特征，自世纪末。我们的主要主张如下：（1）儿童和他们的家庭确实挑战、抵制和质疑这一制度，尽管并不总是通过他们有限的同意移民的能力来表达;（2）儿童移民计划的所谓福利主义冲动往往与国家和机构之间就儿童移民问题交换意见的日常行政和财政问题相矛盾，预示着一个更广泛的儿童移民计划的经济，迄今为止一直在奖学金审查。
In this article we bring the records of Liverpool‐based child emigration agencies into conversation with the archives of ‘Home’ children held at Libraries and Archives Canada, the Archives of Ontario (Toronto) and the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto Archives. Our aim is to provide the first study to consider why the North West emerged as the British centre of child emigration during the period 1860–1930, and examine the shared emigration infrastructure between its institutions and agents with those in Canada, through which we hope to advance comparative transnational research into child separation as a feature of welfare systems since the late‐nineteenth century. Our key claims are the following: (1) that children and their families DID challenge, resist and question the system, though not always expressed through their limited ability to give consent to emigration; (2) that the purported welfarist impulses of child emigration schemes were frequently in tension with the everyday administrative and financial concerns that characterised exchanges over child migrants between state and institution, bespeaking a broader economy of child emigration schemes that has thus far been under‐examined in the scholarship.
