    Historical AssessmentsHistorical Assessments

    A historical assesssment is a research report that provides a framework for collection development at the Canada Science and Technology Museum. In addition to furnishing the rationale for artifact selection, it increases our knowledge of the subject area being assessed.

    In general terms this research affirms the special role of the Canada Science and Technology Museum in fostering public understanding of science and technology. The Museum fulfils this role by collecting artifacts and interpreting the products and processes of science and technology and their economic, social and cultural relationships with society.
