Neighbourhood Stories – these presentations are specific to one of the historic neighbourhoods and highlight their early immigration, settler communities, industries, and recreations.
Japanese Canadian Citizens – discusses the Japanese population from early immigration to WWII internment.
Strange But True – odd stories, unique histories, and eccentric people of our past.
Finding Granny in the Archives: Doing Women’s History – This presentation goes into the ups and downs of doing research using original documents and the particular problems of researching women, who tend to be invisible in the public documents that end up in archives. It includes a lot of images of different kinds of archival documents.
