This is a fascinating site for two reasons. The first is the amount of work that went into each section of interactivity (re: every page is wholly different from the rest of the pages). The second part is of the information itself. The about page info is a little hard to follow (since it was probably written to fulfill a grant’s specifications) – but basically the site is a visual / interactive story of an untold period in Canadian history from 1928 to 1973 which followed the Sexual Sterilization Act, which promoted the sexual sterilization of “mental defectives” – sad, but sociologically very interesting.
