The Redpath: a newly accredited museum!
In August 2024, the Redpath Museum was certified as an accredited museum institution by the ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec. The accreditation is a seal of quality confirming that the museum meets internationally recognized requirements and standards for governance, museological practices, and heritage presentation. With this recognition, the Redpath joined a network of 180 other accredited museums across the province.
The accreditation application was a major effort, supported by the valuable contributions of many collaborators who drafted, updated, translated, edited, and reviewed hundreds of pages of policies, procedures, reports and practices. Valid for a period of five years, the accreditation allows museums to access Quebec government grants dedicated to museums.
The initiative was led by the Redpath team, with support from the Faculty of Science and many stakeholders from across the University. Congratulations to all involved on this wonderful achievement!
