Only a few days left to donate to the Redpath Museum's Virtual Fossil kit!

Published: 22 May 2020

Thanks very much for your donations to the Museum during to create a:

Virtual Fossil and Dinosaur Teaching Kit

This campaign finishes on May 25, 2020. With your continued support we can develop and create more e- resources for teachers and children everywhere to learn about the amazing world of Mesozoic dinosaurs, Devonian flora and ancient Ordovician sea life. All from the Redpath Museum!

Even though we are at home we have online access to an incredible variety of local fossils that lived in the 400 million year old coral sea that is now the St. Lawrence Lowlands; hundreds of paleobotanical samples from the world's first land plants that grew in the Gasp茅 area;聽and a few breath-taking replicas of Canadian dinosaurs from western Canada. While some of our fossils are used for research by global聽experts (see the recent research by former Museum grad student Alex Dececchi here), many more of them have stories of historical intrigue and paleontological聽importance that resonate with the teaching community and the general public!

With your generous support we are building those stories to make them accessible and fun with a suite of virtual online educational resources that can be used at home or in the e-classroom every day.

Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices.
