Armerina Ludlow’s UES History Fair Project

Current Project

The Ucluelet and Area Historical Society is proud to have developed a museum exhibit which illustrates the story of the Japanese who settled in Canada. This project started with a grade 7 Ucluelet Elementary student named Amerina Ludlow. This school project won an award that captured the attention of the Ucluelet and Area Historical Society who made applications for funding to the BC 150 and BC Museum foundation. This funding allowed the creation of a mobile display that has been seen at the Royal BC Museum, and various events in Ucluelet,

“This all started when I was assigned a project for Ucluelet Elementary School’s history fair... I like to read about the war and how it affected people. As I researched I realized that I could do my project on the Japanese people who lived right here in Ucluelet. I realized that to do my project on all of Ucluelet during the war would be too big of a topic. That is when I decided to narrow my topic down to just being about Isabel. I was very fortunate to be able to talk to Isabel in person, I learned a lot and I am glad that I chose to do my project on her. I think it is very important that her story is told and made a part of history. I am sure there are many people who will find her life as fascinating as I did.”
