Oral History Library
We're proud to be the caretakers of the unique stories and diverse perspectives of BC Jewry. The oral histories that form the core of JMABC's archives, publications, and exhibits represent a wide variety of voices, from homemakers to industry leaders, new immigrants to legacy families, and from the most marginalized to the most celebrated community members.
Since the 1960's the BC Jewish Community Archives has recorded thousands of interviews, and dozens more are added each year. Find them here.
