This collection of oral histories and other research materials was created by Laurie Gashinski while she was an undergraduate at Queen's. It was research data for HIST 515, an undergraduate research thesis course she took with Robert Malcolmson in 2005. Gashinski interviewed a number of women from the local area who had served in the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (WREN). It should be noted that women who did not want their names attached to their narratives were excluded from donation. Their opinions and thoughts were incorporated into the manuscript in a summary manner.
