Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Last summer, a precious artifact — believed to be an early test model used in the Avro Arrow jet fighter program — was recovered from the bottom of Lake Ontario. Covered in zebra mussels from its years spent under the water, the artifact’s preservation requires enormous amounts of painstaking work from highly-trained conservators. Read about the recovery effort and the ongoing efforts to restore this artifact — which holds a special place in Canadian aviation history.

In honour of National Volunteer Week – April 15 to 21 – Ingenium is putting the spotlight on just a few of its invaluable volunteers. In today’s profile, the Channel highlights Bill Upton – a volunteer with the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

Hudson Strait Expedition Personnel of Base "C" - October 1927

The Hudson Strait Expedition: Looking beyond the prism of provenance

In honour of Archives Awareness Week (April 2-8), Ingenium is highlighting a few gems taken from our digital collection. In archives and museums, history is often told through the prism of provenance. This could mean that the history of the artifact is told from the point of view of the manufacturer that made the object, or by the company that used the object.

Ingenium has been a partner in this world-wide initiative since 2015. So, why would a science and technology-focused organization be featured in an

A passion strong enough to last a lifetime

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

A lifelong passion for aviation connected Austin Douglas with the Canada Aviation and Space Museum – where he’s been a dedicated volunteer for over a quarter of a century. Douglas – who recently celebrated his ninetieth birthday – retired from a colourful career at Transport Canada in 1990. At the tail end of his career, he worked on the master plan for the Rockcliffe Airport, located right behind the museum. The following year, he began his volunteer work. “It became a habit,” says Douglas of

Behind the scenes: Artifact loans demand all hands on deck

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

When a museum lends one of its precious artifacts to another institution, it’s a little bit like sending your kid off to summer camp. That’s the clever analogy conservator Erin Secord uses to explain the condition reports she’s required to send back to the Museo Galileo in Florence, Italy – about an early telescope that’s on display at the Canada Science and Technology Museum for the next few months. “It’s a little like sending your kid to summer camp; you send them with a bunch of instructions
