  • What Place Does the Canadian Military Effort Hold in History Programs Offered in France?

    Before each event, we advise the media regarding The Memory Project: Stories of the Second World War in order to reach as many veterans as possible or people who know of veterans that would like to share their stories of their time during the war.

  • New Brunswick

    While interviewing veterans in Moncton and Miramichi this November, I found that these veterans had a different wartime experience than veterans in other areas that I have visited.

  • The Memory Project and the Bombing Campaign Debate

    The Memory Project: Stories of the Second World War Digital Archive has the very real potential to play a vital role in the debates surrounding the 1939-45 conflict.

  • Limitations Get Us Down to Business

    Recently in a workshop on the subject of oral history and digital story-telling, Dr. Stephen High of Concordia University, spoke of the practice of oral history.

  • Survival Kit

    One of our latest events took place in New Brunswick, at the end of November.

  • Love Stories

    As an interviewer, not only have I heard stories of battle and anguish, but also stories of love.

  • What Should Young People Know about the Second World War?

    What should young people know about the Second World War? I ask each of the veterans that I interview for The Memory Project this question.

  • Strength of Character

    A couple of years ago my wife and I discovered a small Legion in our neighbourhood.

  • Better Late Than Never

    This gentleman, Peter Van Bree Voort, attended our event in Montreal with his wife and daughter the day after being discharged from the hospital for heart surgery.

  • A Story Worth Turning Off the TV for…

    One of the real pleasures of working for The Memory Project: Stories of the Second World War has been the opportunity to interact with veterans.
