The YRDSB Museum and Archives preserves historical artefacts and
documents relating to the Board and the history of public education in York
Region
But what does preserving the history of education mean? It means that we collect items that
help to answer the following questions:
· Who taught and who was educated?
·
What was taught?
·
Where did learning take place?
·
How was teaching done?
·
How was education managed?
·
Why did we educate the way that we did?
Our collection includes school equipment, attendance registers, photographs, administrative
papers, curriculum guidelines, student work, furniture, and textbooks.
