They provided great assistance in creating our website, brainstorming on research sources, collaborating with young people, producing a database of children's museums, and gathering online datasources for museum engagement during the lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic. You can read their blog updates that describe their activities and challenges throughout the project and see their amazing videos on our YouTube Channel.
Quentin Stuckey and Helena Wright were our first undergraduate assistants and were an integral part of the team from the start. Quentin helped us to collect a wide variety of archival resources from many physical and virtual sites for use in our planned collaboration. Quentin worked on this annotated research report on urban children's books. Helena worked on our museum database and together they created an amazing bibliography of urban story books, relating to Toronto and nature.
Liu Chia Wei researched, designed, created, and maintained our website, curatingstory.com during his Masters.
Elizabeth Theroux researched and assisted on our ethics review process and conducted research during her Masters.
Emily Smith prepared an annotated bibliography on children's books for the Greater Toronto Area which lead to this.
Paris Salmon-Wright and Loraine Illeperuma were essential in the organisation of the undergraduate research collaborations, as well as writing contributions of their own here and here as undergraduates.
Sabrina Pavelic aided in the overall management of our digital system and provided much needed file organisation. She also wrote a review of Dr. Seuss and museum exhibits here for her Masters.
Fel Castaneda Gamboa created beautiful animations we used in our summary video while studying for their Masters.
