Resumo

Os artefatos de quem? As histórias de quem? explora os usos da história pública para contar as histórias da relação das mulheres com a ciência e a tecnologia no Museu de Ciência e Tecnologia do Canadá, um dos museus nacionais do Canadá. O artigo examina como as histórias de mulheres, as quais têm sido por muito tempo desconsideradas por curadores que no passado avaliavam os artefatos tecnológicos através das lentes das metodologias de coleção de tipo e história da ciência e tecnologia, agora estão sendo enquadradas no contexto de história pública e, portanto, estão na vanguarda de coleções de museus e interpretação.

Palavras-chave: Palavras-chave do autor: coleções de museus, exibições, gênero e museus, história pública, mulheres e tecnologia
