The Discovery Train came into existence in 1978. It formed part of the newly created Mobile Exhibits Programme. This programme was established in order to amalgamate the operations of the Discovery Train and the Museumobile Division. The latter had been in operation since 1972. Both the Museumobile Division and its successor, the Mobile Exhibits Programme, represented components of the National Programmes Branch. The Branch was created in support of the 1972 National Museum Policy, and as such, it was responsible for encouraging and supporting the preservation of the national heritage and increasing public access to that heritage. The Discovery Train operated as a mobile exhibition until 1980.
The files in this accession are operational in nature and cover a wide range of subjects including the establishment of the Discovery Train programme, its administration and disposal, and the exhibits that were displayed. In this connection, a large number of files touch on the loan of artifacts and specimens for use in the train and the design and fabrication of exhibits. Other files deal with the activities of consultants, publicity and public relations, sponsors, and the selection of sites. Finally, several files involve the question of provincial and community liaison, merchandizing, and public creation.
