This essay uses the visual and material cultures of two laboratories as a way of initiating a historiographical discussion about what it means to write the history of science and technology in Canada. It uses a potentially familiar topic -- the conception and construction of the Alouette satellite--to illustrate how the discipline might shed its self-conscious preoccupation with discoveries and innovations, and instead focus its attention on a revised exploration of the question: what is Canadian about Canadian science and technology?
...MoreDescription On the construction of the Alouette satellite. Asks the question: what is Canadian about Canadian science and technology?
