We are very grateful to Frank and Lillian Markovich who have recently donated 435 school books to the YRDSB Museum & Archives. The books cover a wide range of topics from grammar to science and include storybooks and teaching manuals. They provide a fascinating insight into the way things have been taught for over 130 years. In addition, Mr and Mrs Markovich were kind enough to allow us to interview them about their years as teachers. Their reminiscences are also now part of our collection.
