What is a WebQuest? A WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented lesson format in which most or all the information that learners work with comes from the web. We have organized several WebQuest offerings highlighting our collections and York’s stories.
Use our digital exhibits to dive deeper into our local history. Themes include World War II, the Underground Railroad, and much more.
