Our Project

We have been tasked with creating an interactive online media component for the Canadian Tire Heritage Collection belonging to the Western University Archives. We strive to create a broad encapsulation for the history of the company to entice further research on the subject. The extensive collection was examined and key components throughout (ie. special findings, specific dates, interesting material) were individually selected. In collaborating with Anne Daniels, an archivist at Western, we have created an informative, and interactive website that compels further research. As such, anyone is welcome to explore the website to gain background knowledge into the history of Canadian Tire. The project's ultimate goal is to raise awareness for the Canadian Tire Corporation's massive archival donation to ARCC (Archives and Research Collection Center), and to educate individuals on the important history of Canadian Tire to Canada.
