[Bcma-l] Memory Study on Expo 67 Montreal- participants needed

[bcma-l@museumsassn.bc.ca]

Hi Viviane,

Aren't you great for getting your PHD while raising a family!

Ironically, I was living in Vancouver in 1966-67 but I got back to
Montreal in late August 1967 and I went to Expo from that time until it
closed.

I would love to participate in the study if the time of the interview is
convenient.

Participants Needed for a Memory Study on Expo 67 Montreal

Investigating the Long-term Memories of Visitors' Leisure Time
Experiences:
The Case of Expo 67

Overview:

The study proposes to explore issues related to visitors' long-term
memories of World Expo 67, hosted in Montreal in 1967.  The study aims
to develop understandings of the nature, character and extent of
visitors' long-term memories and other specific types of memory and
recall associated with large-scale exhibitions.  The emerging findings
of the study will be of significance to museum-based and large-scale
exhibition developers through elucidating and extrapolating the
identified principles behind visitors'
salient long-term memories of exhibitions. The study is being funded by
the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada.


Participants: Any person between the age of 47 years and 80 who visited
Expo
67 at least once.

The study is seeking voluntary participants who are willing to discuss
their memories and personal experiences of Expo 67.  Interviews will be
conducted with a researcher and will be about 40 minute in duration.
During this time volunteer participants will be asked to talk about the
things they remember, be shown images of the Expo, and asked to draw or
sketch things you had seen during your visit.  All interviews will be
administered in a relaxed conversational manner and video taped for
subsequent data analysis. A good memory of Expo 67 is NOT a prerequisite
for participation in the study.


When:  Interviews and discussions will be conducted from January 29 to
February 9th in Scarf, Room 2218, UBC.


Honorarium:
For you contribution to this study through your participation, you will
be given to complementary tickets to a local museum.
