Digitized Collection of the Coyote Flats Oral History launch
Monday, May 15, 2 to 3:30 p.m., U of L Library, main floor alcove behind the information desk
The Coyote Flats Oral History Project was designed to preserve the stories and memories of people who settled Picture Butte and helped develop the Coyote Flats Pioneer Village. The Village, Picture Butte High School and the University of Lethbridge’s Centre for Oral History and Tradition collaborated to create an oral history project. U of L students and project coordinators completed and transcribed more than 50 life history interviews and Picture Butte High School students created seven promotional videos. The project won the 2015 Governor General’s History Award for Excellence in Community Programming. The online digital collection and videos will be demonstrated during the launch.
