Oral history & Montreal Irish Community

I have been working on a part-time basis on an oral history of Irish-born Montrealers for the last several years. In all I have interviewed 40 Irish-born Montrealers and just recently finished my last interviews. When I started the project I became an affiliate of the Centre for Oral History and have availed of the many workshops offered at the Centre. I have also been able to use the interview room at the Centre to interview participants for whom that was a more convenient option than any other. I am currently editing the transcripts of the interviews (audio interviews).
