Oral History in Canada conference
Date: August 18 – 20, 2005
The Oral History in Canada conference is hosted by the Department of History and the Chair in German-Canadian Studies at The University of Winnipeg and brings together scholars from around the world who work with oral history and oral tradition.
Oral history, including the collecting of oral tradition, has become a major research method of historians and other scholars as well as community activists and local historians in Canada. This conference seeks to bring these practitioners from various fields together to assess the state of oral history in Canada and the directions it may take in the future.
About half of the participants are coming from outside of Canada. This will be the first oral history conference in several years that brings together Canadian and international oral historians to learn about each others’ approaches and experiences. One major focus of the conference will be on video technology as a new medium for oral history. Other foci include oral tradition in various cultures and Aboriginal oral history and tradition.
