 Online Resources for 
Canadian Heritage

This list focuses on educational Internet resources pertinent to Canadian heritage in the disciplines covered by the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation: archaeology, ethnology, history (including military history and postal history), and folk culture.

Other resources are also included if they are considered to provide a larger context for understanding Canada, its history, and the multicultural backgrounds of Canadians. Finally, some general resources are included to help you pursue subjects further afield.

The inclusion of a link in the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation's web site does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation by the Canadian Museum of Civilization Corporation.
