THE "HISTORICA MINUTES"
A collection of 60-second "mini movies" that tell stories about Canadian heroes and important events.  The videotape comes with an instructional booklet of teaching ideas and classroom activities which are valuable as an introduction to Canadian historical and social themes.

MSA MUSEUM PRESENTATIONS
The staff of the MSA Museum would be pleased to help your students begin their Historica Fair projects.  We offer two different presentations: What is a Historica Fair?  an Archives Orientation and Punch Up Your Project!  Please call 604-853-3722 for details and booking information.

VIRTUAL HERITAGE FAIR
This innovative project takes the Fairs Program to the Internet!  Your students can share their projects with children all around the world by publishing text and photos on a website dedicated to student-produced material.  Everyone can participate - even classes not otherwise involved in the Historica Fairs Program.  For more information,
check the site

HISTORICA FOUNDATION WEBSITE
A great resource for teachers and other educators: be sure to look at the "Forum" section and look for information under "History in the Classroom."  This website also has research material, games and activities for students.  It's all Canadian, and it's at
www.histori.ca !
