QAHN's "Spoken Heritage On-line Multimedia Initiative" will preserve and disseminate oral histories from Quebec’s English-speaking communities.

Existing oral history collections in English-speaking communities will be preserved through digitization and new oral histories will be collected. An on-line database of these collections will be launched in 2011.

Throughout the project's duration, participating museums and historical societies will incorporate their digitized oral history collections into multimedia heritage exhibits. Currently, exhibitions at Heritage New Carlisle and the Missisquoi Museum are open for visitation. Upcoming exhibitors include the Greenwood Centre for Living History and the Alfie Roberts Institute.
