Research Partnerships

The museum is excited to announce some of their upcoming partnerships with a variety of local institutions and organizations.

The museum is currently working with the 48th Highlanders of Canada Regiment, researching stories of Cabbagetown and Regent Park youth who served in various wars. Items being researched include unpublished photos of Cabbagetown boys returning from the Boer War in 1902; entire families of fathers and sons who signed up for WWI; and other stories from recent Canadian Forces operations. The 48th Highlanders are making available their records to the museum and graciously allowing for the loan of complete uniforms and artifacts. A future exhibition of the collected uniforms and pictures will help tell their story.

We will also be celebrating a variety of centennial anniversaries!

CRPM will partner with St. Cyril’s Macedonian Church, Regent Park, in 2010 to digitize their archival collection for their 100th anniversary and provide a photo exhibit from the material. We are supplying technical, archival and educational expertise, as well as training students on the project.

Central Neighborhood House and CRPM collaborate to produce two events for their 100th Anniversary in 2011. CRPM will be providing a researcher and the expertise of two of our board members, one of whom is on the NCH Steering Committee. The end products will include an oral history project and a photo exhibit.
