	Preservationist The maintenance and conservation of The Manitoba Museum’s vast collections is important for the future of Manitoba. These 2,500,000 treasures represent our history, both natural and human, enabling us to continue to learn about our past. This helps us understand ourselves in the present, and provides guidance for the future. The Manitoba Museum carefully and dutifully maintains and preserves these collections, ensuring that the many artifacts and specimens, as well as the understanding and insight they provide, are preserved for future generations.



	Environmental Environmental preservation and education factor significantly in Museum research. Museum publications are critical to our understanding of the natural world. This focus stems from the birth of the Museum in the 1960s in a climate of growing concern for the environment articulated in the original proposal for a museum submitted to the provincial government in 1964. "Manitoba needs a modern museum of man and nature... a living history of man and his environment, tracing the evolution of Manitoba's resources, industry and culture, past and present, and pointing the way, through research to the future." The wisdom and foresight of such a statement are apparent in the appreciation and support demonstrated by the community for the environmental work of this institution and for the tremendous impact that it has on the quality of education and economic health of our province.
	Artefacts Canada provides access to information on millions of museum objects, natural history specimens and archaeological sites. These records are contributed by museums and heritage organizations across Canada.
