This year our 2016 Annual Campaign raises funds for Treasures from the Earth. This 100-page booklet reviews the science and classification of minerals and the geological environment in which they occur, with examples from our nationally significant mineral collections. The booklet highlights Canada’s and Quebec’s remarkable mineralogical diversity. We take pride in these specimens and this booklet will foster an appreciation of the importance of minerals to Canadian society. Authored by Peter Tarassoff, Honorary Curator of Mineralogy, we anticipate publication in 2017.

Research at the museum is focused on evolution, from working out the details of the 3,5 billion year history of life on the planet to examining how creatures and systems are changing today. The researchers of the museum can be found on the staff page and their findings can be found both on their individual staff pages and in the publications section of the site.
Courses taught at the Museum
Museum courses include Science and Museums, which focuses on the history of research and management of natural history collections. Museum staff teach courses in several departments such as Biology or the School of the Environment, or Anthropology, and yet more courses are taught in the museum by videoconference from the Department of Natural Resource Sciences at Macdonald College.
At the graduate level, students wanting to study biosystematics and evolutionary biology can find several supervisors working on a variety of topics. Students from other, related departments can also be supported by the museum.
