Immigrec

The Memory Lane map presents 21 selected Greek shops that existed in Montréal between the years 1950 and 1980. This digital cartography project is based on the advertisements published in the newspaper Hellenic Canadian Tribune (VIMA). Stavroula Pabst (MA History, McGill, 2019) catalogued the VIMA newspaper advertisements digitized by the McGill Immigrec team. Postdoctoral fellow Dr. Alexandra Siotou selected 21 shops that are mentioned during the interviews with the Greek community members, conducted by the Immigrec Project research team. Based on the data provided, The Memory Lane map was created by Deniz Ozlem Cevik (M.ISt Information Science, McGill, 2020) research administrator of the Immigrec project. Check out the map!
