The RCRM Speakers Series is a program launched by The Royal Canadian Regiment Museum in early 2020. The goal of the program is to engage with patrons by means of academic research across the country. Scholars of history or history buffs, well-known authors or museum curators were invited for a talk of their choice. For the inaugural year, two anniversaries are in focus: 120 years since the Battle of Paardeberg, during the South African War and the 75th anniversary from the end of the Second World War. The monthly talks were recorded live. Guest speakers accompanied their talks with images, moving or still; voice overs were added to clarify the use of support material as necessary. When it was possible, the Question(s) and Answer(s) at the end of the presentation are included. The COVID-19 pandemic was declared only two weeks before the third event, which forced us into a different approach. The third event of the series was cancelled, but the program continued in April 2020 as an audiovisual production streamed live on the museum YouTube channel. Program Director Mark Vogelsang from the Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology recorded the public events.
