Oral History at the Osgoode Society (blog post by Patricia McMahon, OS Oral History Coordinator)
Did you know that the Osgoode
Society for Canadian Legal History has the world’s largest collection of oral
histories relating to legal history? Since 1979, the Society has
conducted interviews with more 600 judges, judicial support staff, and senior
members of the legal profession. It is a tremendous resource for historians and
others who would like to learn more about the people who have shaped politics,
business, and – of course – many areas of the law in Canada.
Now, you can search that
collection by keyword at www.osgoodesociety.ca/oral-history
to find oral history interviews dealing with a variety of topics. Full
transcripts can be reviewed at the Archives of Ontario or by contacting the
Osgoode Society.
The search engine is a
work-in-progress and we welcome your feedback. You can reach the Osgoode
Society at osgoodesociety@lsuc.on.ca.
