Audio File Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that these interviews, recollections and talks are one person’s “truth”. These speakers generously shared their stories, experiences and personal knowledge with the Salt Spring Archives and we share them here with you. We ask that you be respectful with how you read and share them. We hope that you will learn from them.

We currently have a project underway to transcribe all of the audio files in our collection, using an artificial intelligence program called Otter AI. For the files that have been transcribed, you can find these transcripts at the bottom of each of the pages below. Though the transcripts produced by Otter are remarkably good, they are far from perfect, but making them accessible in their raw, unedited form will allow historians and other researchers to do searches that will vastly improve their ability to locate material of interest. It is our hope that volunteers in the community will step forward to edit these raw transcripts to make them more readable. If you would like to assist with this project for even a single transcript that is of interest to you, please get in touch at internal@saltspringarchives.com. Files for which the transcript is in process or has been completed are colour-coded light-blue. All help is greatly appreciated.
