Web This Web Quest was Based on a site form the "Canadian Digital Collections"  Since then
they have changed servers and some of the original content is not available.  I have found some 
resources that you may find helpful.  Unfortunately you cannot access the resources on this 
WebQuest as originally designed.  Do not despair this is  a good WebQuest with excellent resources.
