The Cultural Resource Management Program at the University of Victoria is pleased to offer the following 6-day immersion course Memory and Narrative in the Museum for professionals in museums, heritage planning and related organizations.
 
Memory and Narrative in the Museum 
Oral histories can provide a powerful and evocative means of capturing and reflecting community memories and perspectives within the museum context. This new course focuses on the complex, often sensitive process of documenting historical and cultural memories through personal accounts and incorporating these narratives in curatorial and educational practice. You will strengthen your understanding of:
*       a range of narrative structures, including stories, testimonies, oral histories 
*       the teller's perspective and rights 
*       the role of narrative in the museum context 
*       issues of truth, distortion, and authenticity 
*       ethical, legal, ownership, and copyright issues 
*       interviewing, recording and documentation procedures 
*       exhibition and public programming strategies 
*       managing oral history collections 

Instructor: Dr. Roberta Kremer, Ph.D., is the Executive Director of the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre in Vancouver. She holds a PhD. from the University of British Columbia in multicultural education and museum studies.
