Mémoire sur le Musée national de l’histoire du Québec
Abstract
The following policy brief was presented to the Commission de la culture et de l’éducation in the Fall of 2024 by Concordia University’s Quebec English-Speaking Communities Research Network (QUESCREN) as part of the Quebec Government’s consultations on the creation of a new Musée national de l’histoire du Québec (loi no 64, Loi instituant le Musée national de l’histoire du Québec). The following recommendations were made in the policy brief: That the museum dedicate a significant portion of its content to perspectives from English-speaking Quebec; That the museum present a nuanced, complex, and realistic vision of the various linguistic and cultural communities in Quebec, integrating multiple voices and perspectives; That the museum go beyond the usual focus on a ruling anglophone elite to highlight the voices of ordinary English-speaking people and community leaders in various regions; and That the government ensure experts on English-speaking Quebec are represented in the museum's governance, as well as in the writing and approval of the museum content.
