IMAX influencer: How one woman’s work impacted the big screen

You’ve probably never stopped to think about the complex technical requirements and hard-working people who came together to make IMAX a reality.

Hello there, my reading friend. How are you today? Good, good. Personally, I feel reasonably well. I have a feeling that the management of the Electronics Division of Canadian Westinghouse Company Limited of Hamilton, Ontario, felt more than reasonably well 50 years ago, on 3 April 1969 to be more precise, when the British weekly magazine Flight International published the article at the core of this week’s peroration. As was / is / will be often the case in matter of science, technology and

Ken Molson's photographs detail Canada's aviation history

In honour of Archives Awareness Week (April 1-7), Ingenium is highlighting a few gems taken from our digital collection. Was Ken Molson born with the dream of flying? Or did he acquire the taste, little by little, just as he collected photographs on aviation themes, little by little, over his lifetime? Ken Molson’s personal archives were donated to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum in 1996 and were later certified as Canadian cultural property. The archives cover the entire history of

May I begin this article by offering you my most sincere salutations, my reading frfiend? I am very pleased indeed to be with you again. If yours truly may paraphrase the title of a rather popular 1991 song by the American hip hop trio Salt-n-Pepa, let’s talk about space. More specifically, let’s talk about a forgotten space movie whose premiere occurred 60 years ago this month, in other words in November 1958. From the Earth to the Moon was an adaptation of a well known novel, From the Earth to

Inventing is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration and 10% television

Hello there, my reading friend. Television is undoubtedly one of the great inventions of the 20th century. It is the best of things, it is the worst of things, if I may paraphrase Charles John Huffam Dickens. Would you care to accompany me down memory lane to look at one of the best television show you have never heard of, a story brought to you by a photo found in the 7 October 1948 issue of Photo-Journal, a weekly newspaper published in Montréal, Québec? Once upon a time, around September 1947

In 1997 Jerry Fielder contacted the then-director of the Collection and Research Division of the Canada Science and Technology Museum, Geoff Rider, with an offer of a donation. Each year the Museum receives several hundred offers from across Canada, yet Geoff immediately recognized that this was not an average proposal. Since 1979 Jerry had been a curator and an assistant to prominent Canadian photographer Yousuf Karsh.

The First Low-Priced, Mass Produced Camera

Ingenium – Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

When the Eastman Kodak Company launched the Brownie camera in 1900, it used a group of fictional sprites called Brownies to increase the camera’s consumer appeal, especially among children. Canadian illustrator Palmer Cox (1840–1924) drew on Scottish folklore to create the Brownies, describing their adventures in more than a dozen books between 1887 and 1925. Cox, who was born in Granby, Quebec, increased his substantial income by licensing the Brownie characters for commercial use. Decades

Panorama Camera

Library and Archives Canada

In 1888, Canadian photographer John R. Connon patented a panoramic camera—perhaps Canada’s most significant contribution to the field of photography. Although there were European patents for panoramic cameras from as early as 1843, most photographers continued to splice together multiple exposures to capture wide landscapes on film. Connon’s camera was mounted on a rotating platform and could capture images as wide as 360 degrees in a single exposure. Uniquely, Connon’s patent specified the use
