Presenter: Andrea Kaston Tange. Most of us know our ancestors only through fading bits of paper: sepia photographs or family recipes, public records, the occasional packet of letters. What does it take to build coherent stories out of such tantalizing fragments of lives? This workshop explores research and writing strategies for constructing family memoirs, drawing on examples from a project set in Miami in the 1920s.
Andrea Kaston Tange is an accomplished professor and published author who has expertise in researching and writing family stories.

ATTENDANCE VIA ZOOM ONLY.
With the publication of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”, the year 1843 was a turning point in the story of the celebration of Christmas, as well as the year in which Fort Victoria was first established on Vancouver Island. Several decades later, local author and editor of the British Colonist newspaper, D.W. Higgins, wrote an evocative tale entitled “My First Christmas Dinner in Old Victoria”, reflecting upon his 1860 holiday season in gold rush Victoria. Join historian Kate Humble to explore holiday traditions in the early decades of colonial Victoria and contemporary Britain, with the twin tales of Dickens and Higgins as literary lenses.
