The Archives of Ontario Remembers Children's Art From the Spanish Civil War - Page Banner

During this month of Remembrance the Archives of Ontario turns its focus on the children who are helplessly caught in the middle of any armed conflict.

This exhibit highlights the artwork created by a group of children who, over half a century ago, unwittingly found their lives uprooted by the onset of the Spanish Civil War.

Like the artwork, the photographic images in this exhibit are from the Alexander Albert MacLeod fonds and remind us of both the frailty and the resilience of children during times of adversity.
