Be a Part of our Oral History Project!

We are looking for volunteers to help us in the exciting new Oral History Project. This is your opportunity to experience the rich history of Brantford and Brant County through people’s personal experiences. As a volunteer, you will collect people’s stories through short, audio interviews. We will train you and provide you with the necessary digital recorder.

We are also looking for people to share their stories. Do you know of someone who has an interesting story from Brantford/Brant County’s past? Do you have a story to share? Please be in touch with suggestions or to offer your own story. We will conduct a short audio interview with everyone who’s interested at a time and place that is convenient. We’d love to hear from you.

If you are interested please email us at information@brantmuseums.ca or give us a call at 519-752-2483.
