"Museums have the potential to help Canadians remember how and why history matters. They can be places where we not only see evidence of the past and explore how others have interpreted it, but also where we can learn how to “do history” for ourselves. Those of us who work in history museums engage daily in the formal effort of teaching about the past using historical artifacts and reproductions.To do this well we must know history, we must know museums, and we must know why both matter."
