Mr. Thompson currently has ~700 hours of field recordings stored on audio-cassette in his home, along with an additional ~100 hours recorded on video. This is surely one of the richest single troves of oral history in Eastern Canada – a treasure of both provincial and regional significance -- and Mr. Thompson has partnered with the UPEI Library to digitize this collection and make elements of it available on-line.

Unless otherwise indicated, all content appearing in this collection are the copyright of Reg "Dutch" Thompson. The recordings are made available for purposes of research and private study; reuse or reproduction for any other purpose requires the permission of the copyright holder.
