Artefacts Canada

Thanks to the important contribution of this country's heritage institutions, the Artefacts Canada database contains close to 4 million object records and approximately 800,000 images from Canadian museums. This important source of information is made available to museum professionals and the public. Moreover, records with images become more publicly accessible through the VMC Image Gallery.
