St. Catharines Public Library

We are improving ACCESSIBILITY!

Port Dalhousie Branch Library

Starting October 7, the ramp and side door of the Port Dalhousie Branch will be replaced by a new ramp and an accessible door. This work is expected to take approximately two weeks, and will result in permanently improved accessibility. Access in and out of the Branch will be by the main door only while work is in progress.

If you require alternate access, please contact us at 905-688-6103 x500 to arrange for curbside pickup or drop off.

Thank you for your understanding.

Brock Talks: Making/Teaching History in the Pandemic: A Student-Research-Led History of 18th-Century Acadie

Red and white Brock Talks logo

How do we teach history in the pandemic? How do we not just teach, but encourage students to create their own historical works? How do we encourage them not just to create their works, but to put that work out for a general-public audience hungry for great stories of our past? Professor Daniel Samson, Department of History, will tell the story of 10 Brock history students and how they built an internationally acclaimed digital public history project at the height of COVID-19.
