The York Region District School Board Museum and Archives is located at the Heritage Schoolhouse in Markham.  In addition to collecting and preserving the history of education in York Region, we offer a range of programs for students. These include our popular grade three Schoolhouse Experience where students experience a day in the life of a student in 1900.

If you are doing historical research or planning an event for a York Region school, please contact us.  Our collection includes school equipment, attendance registers, photographs, administrative papers, curriculum guidelines, student work, furniture, and textbooks.

Our reference library is available for research into the history of education and of York Region.  We can help you with your research and you can also contact us to make an appointment.
