The Memory Project and Historica Canada produced this kit with the generous support of the Government of Canada. The Memory Project, a program of Historica Canada, is a volunteer speakers’ bureau that arranges for veteran and active members of the Canadian Forces to share their stories of military service at schools and community events across the country. 

Art plays a crucial role in documenting war because it captures emotional, cultural, and human aspects of conflict in ways that traditional historical records cannot. It helps convey the lived experiences of soldiers, civilians, and survivors, highlighting the personal toll of war.
