Description:
The project involves conducting 40 filmed oral history interviews with key figures from the Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese communities in Quebec, as well as with those responsible for the selection, reception, and settlement of refugees from these communities between 1975 and 1990. This project, which is part of the 50th anniversary of their arrival in Quebec, is urgent, considering the advanced age of the participants. Its purpose is to make their experiences visible and to commemorate them.
Organization:
Library and Archives Canada
Expected Results:
In the short term, through the dissemination of short videos on social media and the closing event to present the results, this project will raise awareness in an original way among the general public and the Cambodian, Laotian, and Vietnamese communities about the importance of remembering these significant events for all of Canada. It will also highlight the contribution of these communities to Quebec society. In the long term, this project will play a crucial role in preserving the memory of the interviewed individuals, an increasingly pressing issue as they age and pass away.
