At The ArQuives, we believe in the importance of acting as an educational resource to the community.

Our main avenues for providing educational support are through presentations about our LGBTQ2+ Inclusive Education resources for high schools, presentations about our collections, tours of our Jared Sessions House, where we hold public programming and our collections reside, and walking tours of Toronto’s LGBTQ2+ historical neighbourhoods.
