In W2023, HIST 400, “The Practice of Oral History,” was offered for the first time in the Department of History at the University of British Columbia. Students in the class learned about, and practiced, oral history methods, and then undertook final projects based on oral history interviews.

Here are a few projects, for which permission has been granted to make them public:
