The AGO’s collection is searchable on their website, but some exhibits stand out more than others.
One gem on the website right now is The Boxwood Project, which contains countless photos of exquisitely tiny gothic carvings, accompanied by not just one scientific analysis showing how researchers figured out how the beads were made, but numerous essays on the topic.
Another feature is an interactive website compiling around 3,000 photographs taken by Henryk Rozencwaijg-Ross of the Jewish ghetto in a Polish city during the Holocaust. Visitors to the webpage are encouraged to use the “Build My Collection” function to curate their own exhibit out of the photographs and share it with others.

ACTIVITÉS
Il existe deux types d’activités. Les activités dans les trousses et les activités pour les objets.
Les activités dans les trousses proposent des projets qui s’étendent sur un ou plusieurs cours. Ces activités reposent sur les concepts de la pensée historique, dans le cadre de l’exploration de l’ensemble de la trousse, ce qui offre une expérience approfondie.
Les activités pour les objets sont courtes; elles prennent pour la plupart de 5 à 25 minutes à réaliser. Elles encouragent les élèves à exercer leur esprit critique à l’égard des objets présentés et à faire usage des concepts de la pensée historique.
Les deux types d’activités ont été créés selon les conseils de spécialistes de l’enseignement de partout au Canada. Elles intègrent les théories et les méthodes pédagogiques actuelles.»
