		The McCord Museum of Canadian History, in partnership with the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, the Faculty of Education and Department of History from both McGill University and Université du Québec à Montréal, and the Quebec Ministry of Education, is working to create new material history-based resources for Canadian teachers.
		The museum, a cultural institution and repository of collective memory and history, faces a new reality that is profoundly destabilising traditional museum methods, leading museums to review all of their practices.
		Encouraged by a government policy that puts history on the curriculum, the McCord Museum, close to one year ago, proposed a partnership of stakeholders from museums, universities, schools and the Quebec Ministry of Education to develop specific content that is directly related to the curriculum defined by the Ministry of Education.

		McCord entered the DNC seeking evidence of such encouragement, and in the process gave assistance to the others who were in charge of the Watergate entry, G. Gordon Liddy and E. Howard Hunt.who were at the Watergate Hotel that night giving the orders.
		McCord's disclosures in March 1973 laid the foundation for the publicly-televised Senate Watergate hearings which began two months later for he named 10 men to the U.S. Senate on March 28, 1973 who could verify the information and disclosures he made as the first key witness in the Senate hearings on that date.

		In the case of Montreal's McCord Museum, it is primarily the dogged determination of dedicated women, both as early directors and wealthy benefactors, that succeeded in preserving part of the city's anglophone material culture.
		Ironically, although some faculty members came to realize the potential for research at the McCord, their focus was once again different from that of the museum, and involvement in it came too late to preserve a strong research function.
		By analyzing the McCord's personalities and trends within a larger museological context, Brian Young has provided students of history and museology with a revealing case study that is representative of changes affecting museums in the twentieth century.

	The Making and Unmaking of a University Museum by Kersti Krug (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Among major university museums in Canada, the Royal Ontario Museum formally separated from the University of Toronto in 1968; the McCord Museum, from McGill University in 1996.
		He begins by describing David Ross McCord's 1919 donation to McGill of 'one of the three most important collections illustrating the history, art, and social life of Canada.' He then goes on to describe turbulent openings and closings of the McCord Museum over the next seventy-five years.
		How the author expects this to be achieved while the McCord suffered under McGill's financial incapacity to support a fully public museum, while Quebec ignored it as an anglo-centred institution, and while narrowly focused academic researchers were the very few with access to the richness of McCord's collections is hard to fathom.
