12 | Archives 101
People know museums, people know libraries, but archives often remain a mystery. This is the chance to get introduced to the fantastic historical resources at the Galt Archives.
Tour the archival facility, learn the rules and procedures, and find out how to search for records through our easy-to-use online database.
09 | Interpreting the Past Using Photographs
Historians use photographs as primary sources, but how do professional historians actually "interpret" these photographs?
This workshop with Carol Williams explores historical methods on the use and interpretation of photographs, and a discussion on the ethics of visual representation.
We will use photographs from the Archives, and participants are invited to bring their own collection.
22 | How to Research your House
Have you ever wondered about the history of your home? The Archives can help you discover interesting facts about your place and the neighbourhood around it.
You can find out the date the building was built, the original owner, photographs of the property and even maps of the vicinity from 100 years ago!
19 | What's New at the Archives
Join us for this special tour of the Galt Archives to get updated on the progress we have made in the last five years.
You will learn about the recent acquisitions of archival records, the new website interface with new features, and the recently revamped volunteer program.
