ORAL HISTORIES

We invite everyone, of any age, of any background, to share your stories with us. Remember what was, reflect on what is, and ponder what the future will bring to Mississauga!

Everyone has a story. From the Indigenous Mississaugas to the early European settlers to those who arrived in Mississauga yesterday. Our heritage is ever-growing and these stories are what make Mississauga unique!

Please share your stories and pictures with us as we seek to protect, preserve, and promote our City’s heritage.

 

 

Protect, Preserve and Promote Your Heritage

We are currently accepting the following archive materials:

  • Photographs
  • Videos
  • Audios

  • Anything else that will be useful in recording your history

We will make a copy of your content, so that it’s in our archives for safe keeping and future use.

Why Oral Histories?

“Doing an oral history with Heritage Mississauga gave me a sense of belonging in the Mississauga community.”

Allowing people to use their own words moves them to share aspects of their life experience that would not be recorded in writing or in photos.
