About Island Digital Voices

“We are committed to ensuring the artisans of tomorrow have the opportunities and supports they need to carry Island traditions into the future."

“It’s imperative we support these talents to ensure our culture is preserved and appreciated for generations to come.”  – Dennis King, former Premier of P.E.I.


The Island Digital Voices project, founded in 2021, is an initiative of the Government of Prince Edward Island, administered by the PEI Museum & Heritage Foundation.

The intent of the project includes two key elements:  

  • To encourage community members to record and share their oral and written histories  
  • To provide aspiring storytellers the opportunity to practice their craft in a professional setting

The stories featured on this website are mostly gathered and created by aspiring storytellers in the province. To learn more about them visit our ‘Meet the Storytellers’ page.

Educators are welcome and encouraged to use these media pieces in their classrooms.
