Thank You!

I would like to thank Michael Klassen for designing this amazing website and thereby bringing Baba’s story and those told by other members of Sudbury’s Ukrainian community to life. Special thanks to Steven High for inspiring this project and to my parents, Daniel and Gail Zembrzycki, and my husband, Robert Douglas, for providing helpful feedback on the usability of this website. Additionally, I want to acknowledge Concordia University’s Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling |go to website|; it is an innovative and incredibly supportive space where thinking about and practicing oral history is always exciting! Stories Matter |go to website|, oral history software under development at the centre, allowed me to clip and organize the audio interview excerpts on this website. Lastly, I would like to thank Baba for not only bringing me into her world but also being patient enough to enter mine.

Interviewees

I owe a debt of gratitude to the men and women who welcomed me into their homes and shared their stories with me. I appreciate their honesty and willingness to participate in this project; without their help the story of Sudbury’s Ukrainians would have remained unwritten. Thank you to those who chose to remain anonymous and the following individuals |download full list|. This collection of digital audio interviews has been donated to the City of Greater Sudbury Archives and Concordia University’s Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling.
