Many voices: Oral histories of Canada’s grain elevators

Grain elevators have long been a symbol of agricultural strength for the Canadian prairies. But what was it actually like to work in the grain elevators? As a practicum student from Carleton University, I have been pondering this question while researching a grain elevator model in the agricultural collection of Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation.

Designing a STEM activity: My co-op experience at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum

When visiting museums, I have often taken part in hands-on activities to get a better sense of the historical significance of an exhibition. However, it was not until my three-week summer placement at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum that I truly understood the complex logistics behind such activities.

Want to explore the deep sea? The secret is robots!!

Michelle Campbell Mekarski, PhD

Canada Science and…

Pitch darkness, near freezing temperatures, horrifyingly scary see-through monsters, and the weight of a couple hundred elephants crushing you to death. The bottom of the ocean is not exactly an easy place for humans to explore. But that doesn’t mean that we can just ignore the depths!

Happy birthday to Ingenium's Digital Archives

Ingenium’s Digital Archives portal is now officially a year old! It’s hard to believe a year has flown by since we first offered unprecedented access to the archives of our three national museums. To celebrate this anniversary — and this year’s Archives Awareness Week in Ontario (April 1-7, 2019) —we’ve added three new collections to the portal. I invite you to take a look at the first images from the Hawker Siddeley fonds, the Ken Molson fonds, and the Trade Literature Collection. In the next
