Education Workshops at the Archives of Ontario

Centennial Ontario: Conflict, Change, and Identity in 1967, grades 10-12

Ontario Folk art festival

Textual records, photographs, and videos are the types of records that trace how Ontarians experienced and celebrated the Centennial anniversary of Confederation in 1967. By exploring records from our exhibit Family Ties: Ontario Turns 150, students will develop a research question, explore possible responses, and communicate their findings about life in Ontario during the 1960s in creative and collaborative ways. Workshops taking place at the Archives will include a tour of the facility, giving students a behind-the-scenes look at our Reading Room, Preservation Lab, and archival vaults.
