Canadian Military Oral History Collections Guide at the University of Victoria

Yet again, the good folks over at the Canadian Expeditionary Force Study Group (www.cefresearch.com) have suggested another resource of interest to students of Canadian military history.  The Canadian Military Oral History Collections Guide at the University of Victoria Libraries' Special Collections (gateway.uvic.ca/spcoll/Mil/Oral.html) is an online catalogue outlining the more than 230 interviews in the collection conducted by five different individuals and organizations.  The interviewees include veterans of the Canadian and British militaries, the First and Second World Wars, and service on sea, land and air.  Not surprisingly, many of the interviewees are from British Columbia or served with units located there or with British Columbia links.  A wonderful collection, to be sure.
