[BCMA] For Immediate Release: ODHS Creates Online Learning Site & Virtual Tour

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

*ODHS Creates Online Learning Site and Virtual Tour *



Oliver, BC – With kids at home and the Museum and Archives closed, the
Oliver & District Heritage Society has launched a brand new online learning
webpage and a virtual tour to help kids, teens and adults learn while
staving off boredom.



Both the new Learning Activities webpage and the virtual tour are available
under the Resources section of the Oliver & District Heritage Society
website. The virtual tour showcases the Museum’s “Deep Roots” exhibit and
provides a deep dive into Oliver’s history. This tour is best-suited to
teen and adult visitors who want to learn more about Oliver, and is
available on YouTube as well as on the Heritage Society website.



The Learning Activities page features information and activities such as “I
Spy” games, word searches, at-home science experiments, and photos and
artifacts from the Museum and Archives collections. Topics cover the town
of Fairview, water in the local environment, building a museum exhibit, and
more! And while the site is still under construction, staff will be adding
new content for a variety of ages over the coming months.



The ODHS is also using this temporary closure to offer free help for
teachers and provide more activities on its Facebook and Instagram pages.
Followers enjoy content such as craft videos, featured artifacts, a journal
project, behind the scenes videos with staff, and more.



You can visit the new Learning Activities website at
https://www.oliverheritage.ca/learning-activities or enjoy the virtual
museum tour at https://www.oliverheritage.ca/virtual-tour.
