J.P. Metras Sports Museum: Oral History Project, Preserving the Voices of the Past

This project involves the audio and visual recording of interviews with past and present

athletes, coaches, and administrators of the varsity athletic program in London and the

surrounding areas in Ontario. The over arching objective of the project is to create an

ongoing database of stories to supplment the active archival research already taking place at

the Metras Sports Museum. Because of close ties with the Public History Department, the JP

Metras Sports Musuem has witnessed significant expansion and subsequent exposure. By

creating an oral history research collection, the “w” Club will continue to fulfil its mission in

“The enhancement and promotion of intercollegiate athletics at Western University.”

Furthermore, it is vital to capture these stories before they are lost. This project would make

this possible.
