The institute also has a media production program. We develop learning tools and learning resources for teachers.
We are responsible for the Canadian Encyclopedia, which contains over 40,000 bilingual articles, all available online, dealing with all aspects of Canadian history and society, including military history. It is a free resource that is subsidized by the Department of Canadian Heritage, which is provided free of charge to classrooms, teachers, and the public at large.
The Heritage Minutes is probably the most well-known program that is run by the Historica-Dominion Institute. The last time the Heritage Minutes were produced was in 2005. The 2005 Military Minutes were made possible through the support of the Department of Veterans Affairs, to mark the Year of the Veteran.
The Historica-Dominion Institute also produces learning tools. In your handout kits, you have our most recent learning tools, which are Korean War education kits. They're based on newspaper articles from the day and they ask students to really interact with Canada's past as it was told during the day. The institute was also involved with the Passchendaele film and helping students, through an education guide and a writing contest, to learn more about Canada's First World War history.
