A new exhibition, produced by the Canadian Museum of History and Library and Archives Canada, examines the presence of children in Canada’s documentary heritage. Featuring rarely seen artifacts, photographs, archival documents and works of art, A Little History is the second exhibition in the Treasures From Library and Archives Canada gallery at the Museum. A Little History features 36 unique artifacts, including rare photographs, such as a portrait of Louis Riel’s children and a picture of David Suzuki and his sisters in a Japanese internment camp. It also includes letters and diaries written by children, including Mary Macdonald’s letters to her father, Sir John A. Macdonald, and a British immigrant’s account of a seven-week transatlantic voyage to Canada. These artifacts and documents tell a wide range of stories, revealing the diversity of Canadians’ experiences through the lens of childhood. A Little History will be presented at the museum in Ottawa until January 27, 2019. history museum.ca
