From the wonderful Refuge Canada exhibition, to the many programs that welcomed thousands to the Museum, to acting as a platform for youth education, we are truly touching hearts and minds across the Nation. We are, of course, a museum of stories and it is our privilege and honour to celebrate the story of Canadian immigration and the individual stories of immigrants to Canada. Part of that celebration is the important process of finding, collecting and archiving those stories. Moreover, we make them available for our visitors in a way that will allow them to find sparks of connection and inspiration as they encounter these stories in the Museum. Thanks to our dedicated supporters, we are able to continue this vital undertaking, bringing Canada’s immigration story to light and life through our programs and interpretations of the stories we gather. Reflecting on all the wonderful things we have The Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 is achieved together, I want to extend my thanks to all entrusted by the people of Canada to collect, share of you, whose contributions have made this possible. and pay tribute to the ongoing story of immigration I look forward to all that the Museum will achieve to Canada.

    Negotiating with Oral Histories at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 Ashley Clarkson A Thesis in The Department Of History Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) at Concordia University Montreal, Quebec, Canada January 2015 © Ashley Clarkson, 2015 CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY School of Graduate Studies This is to certify that the thesis prepared By: Ashley Clarkson Entitled: Negotiating with Oral Histories at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 and submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (History) Complies with the regulations of the University and meets the accepted standards with respect to originality and quality. Signed by the final examining committee: Shannon McSheffrey Chair Elena Razlogova Examiner Erica Lehrer Examiner Steven High Supervisor Approved by: Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director Dean of Faculty Abstract This thesis explores the transition of Pier 21 from a local heritage group to its designation as a national museum in 2009. How it is balancing its role as national historic site, with a large source community, and its mandate to represent the national history of Canadian immigration. The emphasis on intangible cultural heritage, or people’s recorded stories, rather than material artifacts, places Pier 21 in the position to adopt new technologies and to connect on-and offline interpretation. In the beginning Pier 21 brought together a community of immigrants and it was oral histories that helped activate that community in order to bring the institution to life. When Pier 21 is referred to as the ‘museum of memories,’ it invokes not only the memories rooted in the exhibits but in the memories that permeate the site itself.

Contained herein are reports from management and academic leaders which outline area-specific activities, accomplishments and challenges experienced over the past year. My report focuses on institution-wide challenges and responses of the past year. When a new history of NSCAD is written I am sure that 2012 will be noted as a year of great significance, a year in which our very existence was the subject of public scrutiny, a year in which our collective resilience was tested, a year of unprecedented firsts, and a year in which courageous and responsible actions were set in motion to address criticisms and chart a sustainable future. As all will recall, the early fall of 2011 set the stage for the struggle which ensued. Reacting to dissatisfaction with successive and growing annual deficits incurred by the university, the province appointed Howard Windsor, a retired civil servant, to review NSCAD’s operations, in particular its finances, and offer Photo: Jacob Mailman recommendations to the province on its continuing support of the university. which could be achieved by imposing cost controls, which are largely within NSCAD’s control.
