Period

Purchased new by CSTMC.

Canada

Taken from reference 1: Collecting new technologies has been defined as priority by the CSTMC senior management. Meeting this priority is a complicated task. New technologies are rarely described in Historical Assessments. It is difficult to use historical criteria to assess importance of current technologies to the transformation of Canada in the long term. It is impossible to fully assess their and they inventors Canadian and technological significance. There is little precedent that can be used to guide preparation of proposals in this area. Finally, there is no formal visitor testing that summarizes visitors’ interest in new technologies under the acquisition category of “exhibition enhancement.” Therefore, to respond to this corporate priority and in accordance with the Collection Development Strategy, the curatorial staff identified broad themes reflective of current culture that will allow us to select objects in a systematic way.
