The Memory Project is a campaign created by Historica Canada, in association with The Canadian Encyclopedia, to share first-hand accounts of Canadian veterans. 

Launched on Historica Canada's Youtube and social channel, these documentary shorts combine powerful interview clips with illustration, animation, and archives to bring these historical moments to life. 

These videos also provide Canadian educators an opportunity to present oral history as a valuable source and incorporate firsthand accounts into classroom activities and discussions.
