The Archives of Ontario is pleased to announce the availability of a new online exhibit and related travelling exhibit:  A Lifetime - Day by Day, Five Women and Their Diaries.

Diaries provide an immediacy and intimacy provided by very few types of records.  A Lifetime - Day by Day, Five Women and Their Diaries provides important insights into the every day lives of early Ontario pioneers.  When we read about these women's day to day experiences, the roles they played and the tasks they performed, we have a window into the society in which they lived.

The online exhibit can be found on the Archives website, here:  http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/exhibits/diaries/index.html.

The travelling exhibit consists of five panels in an easy to use, compact display system.  It is available to be borrowed free of charge (shipping included) by any interested institution.

Also available is an edu-kit linked to the Ontario Social Studies and History Curriculum, with particular relevance to grades three and eight, which contains a teacher's guide and student activities.

For further information, including PDF files of the full exhibit panels, please contact:
