Oral History Collections

The Oral History Collection brings together voices, memories, and experiences that might otherwise have been lost to time. This collection, built through the dedicated efforts of student projects and contributions from the Department of Archives, preserves first-hand accounts of personal and community histories. Each recording and transcript captures lived experiences—stories shaped by culture, tradition, and the everyday lives of individuals—providing a rich source of knowledge for future generations.

By safeguarding these narratives, the collection ensures that history is not only told through official records but also through the voices of those who lived it. Students, researchers, and the wider community are invited to explore these materials as a means to deepen understanding, foster connection, and honour the diverse heritage represented within.
