The Memory Project/Le Projet Mémoire
The Memory Project is a bilingual program whose mandate is to record and share the stories of veterans and currently serving Canadian Forces members. The Memory Project has two branches: a speakers bureau and an archive. The program aims to preserve Canada’s military history through the voices of those who serve. In addition to the speakers bureau and archive, the Memory Project creates free, bilingual educational materials, including videos, podcasts, and learning tools for classroom use, using oral testimony. The Memory Project is an initiative of the not-for-profit organization Historica Canada (publisher of The Canadian Encyclopedia and maker of the Heritage Minutes) and made possible with funding from the Government of Canada through the departments of Canadian Heritage and Veterans Affairs.
