Scope and Content: Records consist of oral history interviews via video camera. Raw files from both cameras used (the one focused on the interviewee and the one focused on the photos being discussed), audio files, edited and redacted film content. The series also consist of the photos donated, and born digital as well as scanned analogue. There are access and preservation copies of Lu's oral history interview as well as administrative records pertaining to consent and permissions to conduct and house the interview. The interview discusses Lu's life in Vietnam and migrating to Canada, the Vietnam war, family and childhood, Lu's life in Canada, photographs, and his mother's love of photography which is significantly featured in the donation as many photos feature her or are taken by her.
