At OMCA, our Learning Initiatives Department has developed a number of online resources for educators to use:
OMCA Online Collection
Oakland Museum of California has an extensive collection of objects that are not on view. Much of OMCA's collection can be browsed on the Online Collection website.
Virtual Exhibition Websites

Additional lessons explore facets of the Gold Rush and its impact on the people and culture of California, from the native population and immigration to slavery and Civil Rights.
