Speakers:
* Tanya Evans (Macquarie University)- ‘Family history, community and collaborative history projects in international comparison’
* Nick Barratt (Open University)- ‘The Transformative Power of Family History and Personal Heritage’
* Tim Compeau (Huron University College, University of Western Ontario)- ‘Mapping the Loyalist Migrations: Descendant Communities and Public Historians in Collaboration’
* Mary Stewart (British Library)- Distant cousins, but somewhat estranged? Family interviews recorded by oral historians and by family researchers.

In our first and second sessions we discussed what successful collaboration in historical research might involve. This session moves on to look at further examples of collaboration in practice, to see what we can learn from these projects. Significantly, the session also helps us to consider another key question for the Historians across Boundaries series – what impact can collaborative history projects have on individuals and diverse communities?

As part of the panel discussion Tanya Evans will talk about her collaborative work with family historians in Australia, Britain and Canada. Nick Barratt will speak about his projects in the UK. Mary Stewart will present on her oral history work at the British Library and Tim Compeau will discuss his collaborative work with family historians in Canada. This panel is organised in partnership with the International Federation of Public History as part of its Summer Series of Events.
