I love history. As a young girl, I spent countless afternoons sitting on the floor of my grandparent's bedroom, pulling old family photographs out of the bottom drawer of their armoire. This fascination has deepened and this blog is my way of sharing interesting stories I have learned through my research with the wider public.
I graduated with a certificate Records & Information Management from the University of Toronto, a certificate in Heritage Resource Management from Athabasca University, a Master of Arts degree in History from the University of Saskatchewan, and an Honours Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of Toronto.
Canadian History and Heritage offers an eclectic mixture of posts about stories I find interesting from Canadian archive and museum collections.
In the Field gives a more in-depth look at my work. Here, you will find virtual exhibits, as well as an inside look into the many different heritage and history projects I have worked on.
All photographs used in this blog are owned by me unless otherwise specified.
If you like this blog and want to support me toward future stories please consider making a small donation. Finding and researching these stories takes time. Each one takes approximately ten hours to research, write, and edit. Any support is appreciated, even just enough for a cup of coffee :)
