In May 2007 the Multicultural History Society of Ontario celebrated the public launch of Collection X– an innovative interactive development project, in partnership with the Art Gallery of Ontario, City of Toronto (Culture Division) and the Toronto District School Board.
Collection X is a fully interactive website that lets users to explore unique images, audio, and video from several Toronto institutions, and also allows them to contribute their own materials to this exciting open-source museum.
Colin Wiginton, the AGO’s manager of Community Programs says, “Collection X will give every user the chance to be both an artist and a curator, and to share his or her own stories.”
Collection X is funded by the Virtual Museum of Canada, an initiative of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
