This is a vital aspect of the museum's work. We aim to speak to all the actors in the modern movement of our country. Dominion Modern launched the oral history project that records the stories of Canadian architects and designers. So far we have taped over 200 oral histories from all over the country. The tapes will be transcribed and available to the public. They serve as a resource for future exhibitions and publications. More than that, these life stories bring forth the people behind the landmark buildings and designs: how they conceived, discussed, engineered and created them. These people demonstrate over and over the tremendous creative energy that built Canada over the last century. It is a privilege and a duty to preserve their words and work for future generations.
