<p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Museums and the Past
</span></i><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">explores the central role of museums as memory keepers and makers. Using case studies from a Canadian context, the contributors to this collection reflect on the challenges in maintaining and developing
museums as meaningful places of memory and learning. Discussions of museum practice and historical consciousness – how our understanding of the past shapes our sense of the future – consider the modern museum’s narratives and pedagogical responsibilities and
how museums continue to inform our sense of history.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
