An initiative of The Historica-Dominion Institute, The Memory Project: Stories of the Second World War is a nation-wide oral history project that is creating an unprecedented record of Canada's participation in the Second World War as seen through the eyes of thousands of men and women who were there. The Memory Project has travelled to 10 provinces and 1 territory to record the experiences of thousands of veterans from across Canada. The Memory Project is a not-for-profit initiative and is made possible with funding from the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage.

The Historica-Dominion Institute is the largest independent organization dedicated to Canadian history. Its mandate is to build active and informed citizens through a greater knowledge and appreciation of the history, heritage and stories of Canada.

Help us bring Canadian history to life through art!
