A Phone Call from Below the Arctic Ice - The 50th Anniversary of Arctic III Sub-Igloo Phone Call to Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

On December 17, 1972, Canadian scientists on an Arctic expedition made a groundbreaking phone call to Ottawa. The Arctic III expedition, led by Dr. Joe MacInnis, made the call from 12 metres (40 feet) below the Arctic ice in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, (which was, at that time, part of Northwest Territories).

Greetings, my faithful reading friend. Yours truly is indeed happy that you agreed to join me in our examination of the second flight impact simulator of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, a national museum located in Ottawa, Ontario. That impressive device was put together by Fairey Canada Limited of Halifax, Nova Scotia. Although not a major player in the Canadian aircraft industry, that firm was one of the major players in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia during the 1950s and 1960s

Good day to you, my assiduous reading friend. Are you ready to drink from the fount of knowledge otherwise known as our blog / bulletin / thingee? Good for you. Let us continue our investigation of the bird impact research work done in Ottawa, Ontario, by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). To do that, we will have to put on our seven decade boots, our nine decade boots actually, and travel back in time to the year 1930. The Engine Laboratory of the Division of Mechanical Engineering

Good day to you, my reading friend. If you have no objection, we will commemorate / celebrate the acquisition, in December 2012, ten years ago this month, of two very interesting devices by the wonderful Canada Aviation and Space Museum, in Ottawa, Ontario, more specifically two fascinating devices donated by a great Canadian institution, nay, a world famous Canadian institution. Our topic of today is not as light hearted as some of our past fare, but I respectively make no apologies for that

Re-examining Archival Research Following the COVID-19 Pandemic

University of Toronto

Re-The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a laundry list of consequences on everyday life; a list far too long to synthesize into one tidy blog post. Instead, I want to shine a light on the impact that the pandemic has had on archival research. For much of the last two years, physical archives have been closed to researchers. For example, the University of Toronto’s archival collections have been shuttered for in-person use, while their online collections and services have remained accessible

What Counts as History? Top-Down Versus Bottom-Up Agency

University of Toronto

Popular understandings of history often rest on the perceived achievements of “great men.” These retellings tend to structure their narratives around particularly prominent individuals or decisive political and cultural moments.

Experimental Collection Engagement with the Locomotives and Rolling Stock Collection

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

The majority of Ingenium’s locomotives and rolling stock collection are not currently on public display and most likely will never be due to their size, weight, and maneuverability. New technologies and digital tools, however, create opportunities for these rail artifacts to be seen and accessed by a wider audience. With this in mind, I created a virtual tour that brings together 360 images, artifact histories, archival material, sound, and other Ingenium projects to tell the story of rail
