Saskatchewan Education: 50 Years Ago

The recent display in the Education & Music Library features books that were used in Saskatchewan classrooms as part of the 1964 curriculum. Participants in the Biennial Conference of the Canadian History of Education Association (CHEA) will be meeting in Saskatoon from October 23 – 26 and touring the Education & Music Library to learn more about the Historical Textbook Collection that is housed on site.

The display was curated by Education & Music Library staff.
