Welcome history teachers and Ontario Heritage Fairs Association
members! I am interested in assisting War of
1812 teachers and in promoting War of 1812 student research projects.
In the articles below are three examples of heritage projects
based upon primary and secondary documents.
The militia rolls and war loss claims used in two of these were accessed
easily online.
At the bottom of the right-hand column, below the short
stories about the war, are Guides for accessing and using war documents. These documents could be used in Heritage
Projects about militia regiments and companies, specific veterans and their
families, specific communities, events that took place during the war, and other
aspects of life during the war.
I am actively researching these documents and available as
a consultant for teachers. My current interests are in York County. Queries are
welcome!
If you are teaching young people, also on the Home page is
an index to stories about children, who later wrote about their adventures
during the war. There are also stories
about women.
