Note from Andrea: Today we have a very special guest post from Kassandra Luciuk! This post originated as remarks that she delivered at the Coptic Canadian History Project’s Third Annual Conference, “Who Am I? Who Are We? Family, History, and Immigrant Identities,” as a discussant for the “Familiar Dilemmas and Ethnic History” panel. The panel itself included presentations by Pamela Sugiman (“The Stranger in my Family’s History: Reflections on the Telling of Japanese-Canadian History”); Roberto Perin (“Perin Peregrenations”); and Gabriele Scardellato (“The Catelli Clan in Montreal, 1845-1895”.)
Kassandra Luciuk is a PhD Candidate in the Department of History at the University of Toronto.

As you may remember from my interview with Katrina Srigley, Stacey Zembrzycki and Franca Iacovetta, I am an oral history devotee. I also used oral history extensively in my dissertation, thirty-five interviews in all. But as an oral historian, I have always had an uncomfortable relationship with transcripts and transcription. So today I thought I would unpack some of the existing discussion around transcription. Let’s get started!
