Germans of Waterloo Region
Germans of Waterloo Region
The scope of this Oral History Project is to collect the life stories of German-speaking immigrants to Canada by conducting biographic interviews with members of the German-Canadian community (immigrants from German-speaking central Europe as well as their descendants) who have ties to Waterloo Region of south-western Ontario, Canada. The interviews were video-recorded, transcribed, and the information gathered presented in two distinct ways. The initial presentation is a book which would contain individual community members' recollections of their immigration and settlement experiences. These accounts are embedded within the larger, historical context. The book chapters focus on a variety of migration-related topics, such as life before immigration to Canada, the immigration experience, life after arrival in Canada, work experience, language, and maintaining social and cultural heritage..LCSH: Germans--Ontario--Waterloo (Regional Municipality)--History--1938-2011 LCSH: Germans--Ontario--Waterloo (Regional Municipality)--Social conditions--1938-2011 LCSH: Waterloo (Ont.: Regional municipality)--Emigration and immigration--1938-2011 LCGFT: Oral histories
