Historica’s website www.histori.ca features a large volume of resources teaching plans, including digitised versions of the Minutes and accompanying lesson plans, and receives approximately 50,000 visits a month. It also owns and makes available free of charge both The Canadian Encyclopedia, the basic reference work on Canadian history, and The Encyclopedia of Music in Canada which can receive up to half a million visits in a given month.
To proactively reach students, Historica runs a nation-wide program of Fairs for students in grades 4-9 which provide opportunities for participants to research, create and display projects – maquettes, videos, dances, monologues, masks, models, panoramas, etc. – about the stories of Canada’s history that intrigue them. It is the largest student outreach program for this age group in the country.
