Animalia: Animals in the Archives

摘要

The Archives of Ontario takes a thematic approach with its newest exhibition, Animalia: Animals in the Archives, which highlights the role of animals in Ontario history as documented in archival records. Located in the Archives of Ontario's Helen McClung Exhibit Area and available as an online exhibit, Animalia employs an engaging concept for the Instagram age and capitalizes on the broad appeal of animals to a general audience as a way to highlight the variety and scope of the Archives' government and private records. This review will focus exclusively on the physical exhibition.
