Abstract
In 2004, the authors redeveloped the UWO Medical Artifact Collection as a teaching and research resource. Students enjoy learning through objects and gain new historical inquiry skills and insights in working with artifacts as primary sources. This paper also discusses collections management issues and object research.
En 2004, les auteurs de ce texte ont réaménagé la collection d'artefacts médicaux de l'Université de Western Ontario en un seul centre d'enseignement et de recherche. Les étudiants ont maintenant le loisir d'apprendre en voyant et en manipulant les artefacts. Ce texte aborde aussi diverses questions reliées à la gestion et au développement des collections.
