Collections

The Canada Aviation Museum’s mandate is to collect, preserve, depict and display aviation-related objects of all types, and interpret their significance to Canada and the world. The Museum’s collection focuses on the development of the flying machine, in both peace and war, from the pioneer period to the present time, with a particular but not exclusive reference to Canadian achievements. Therefore, the collection not only reflects the transformation of Canada’s aeronautical technology, but also fosters an understanding of this heritage within the broader world context.

This section of the web site serves to showcase the collections as well as the research papers produced at the Museum. It also gives insight into the Museum’s specialized conservation practises.
