Great Unsolved Mysteries in Canadian History This site is a collection of three historical mysteries - historical "cold cases". Students are asked to help "crack the case" by working with the evidence that has survived about the cases. In essence, the site teaches students about what "doing history" is. As the site notes, "All we are left with is traces, clues, hints and allegations. Putting those together, weighing the evidence, assessing the credibility of witness accounts, sorting out contradictions, and showing how your solution to the mysteries is the best of all the alternatives -- that is "Doing History".
