Abstract | Through the power of easily accessible and engaging new digital media technologies, family and oral histories can give voice to the unknown and overlooked stories of immigrants and their families--stories that often never make it beyond the children or the grandchildren. The academic library can be a natural focal point for this interaction and exchange between academia and community. As a 3-year community-based research project at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Chinese Canadian Stories: Uncommon Histories from a Common Past is a $1.17 million project funded by the Canadian federal government's Community Historical Recognition Program (CHRP) that positions the UBC Library as a gathering place for community outreach and community-based research. Through this project, it can be said that UBC Library is making a difference in correcting the past's erasures in Canada's national memory, working with academics, libraries, and archives as well as the diverse communities of Canada--communities whose stories are still underrepresented in historical records, innovatively creating a different approach to library and archiving that brings together communities and students at UBC Library.
