	Cathedrals of Science: The Development of Colonial Natural History Museums during the late Nineteenth Century by J. ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		It is largely confined to an examination of five institutions: the Redpath Museum in Montreal; the National Museum in Melbourne, Australia; the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch, New Zealand; and the Buenos Aires and La Plata museums in Argentina.
		In the case of the Redpath, the director was J.W. Dawson, principal of McGill University.
		We are told, for example, that the ''Redpath Museum, unlike South American institutions, acquired local materials in a haphazard fashion,' depending heavily on donations from the community.' In conclusion, we are told that colonial museums grew to be important institutions in their own right, both in an international and in a domestic context.

		The Redpath Museum is a museum of natural history belonging to McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
		The museum's important collection of fossils owes much of its beginning to Sir William Dawson who provided not only many of the fossils of plants from his native Nova Scotia, but procured many important specimens from around the world.
		Thomas Clark, for many years up until his death, was a fixture at the museum and was renowned for his pioneering work on fossils from the Burgess Shale, some of the oldest known anywhere.

	Public Anthropology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		The development of anthropology in the Redpath Museum was greatly affected by the fact that Dawson was a very religious man. Dawson would display artifacts in unusual ways and use the anthropological findings of the evolution of man in his papers to argue against evolutionism.
		The main idea that the author is trying to get across is that the Redpath Museum artifact displays were not regulated primarily on the scientific discoveries of history but rather who had the major influence and power of the museum.
		Previously, museum visitors have been presented with objects that are out of context and separated from their creators.
