Although there is no Museum Studies Department at Carleton University, the discipline is very relevant to many of our subject areas, such as Art History, Canadian Studies, Cultural Meditations, Education, Geography, History, and more.

I have looked through the resources from the University of Toronto Museum Studies program at the Faculty of Information, and thought I would point out a few great resources both online and available through Carleton in the field.
