Canadians and their Past During 2011 the Canadians and Their Pasts project held several culminating activities including a major international conference in Quebec City and an invited symposium in Ottawa on the future of museums as sources of historical knowledge. The latter event was organized by the Canadian Museums Association and consisted of 20 museum directors, curators, museum educators and university-based researchers from across Canada.

The three themes addressed were: New Technologies and Historical Knowledge, The Museum as a Site and Source of Memory, and Future Institutional Challenges. 2011 also saw the completion of a book about the project’s national survey as well as several articles on specific studies of how people engage the past in museums, all of which were submitted for scholarly publication consideration. Plans are also underway to publish several articles in future issues of Muse about various activities of the project. While The Canadians and Their Pasts project officially ends in the spring of 2012, the CMA and the museum community can look back at a project that consisted of several initiatives and a range of findings that will continue to have implications for museum practice.
