Canada Aviation and Space Museum : The Canada Aviation and Space Museum draws its mandate from the 1990 Museums Act (as part of the National Museum of Science and Technology). The Library and Archives of the Canada Aviation and Space Museum is dedicated to fostering an understanding of the role aviation played in the history of Canada. Its collections also show Canada's exceptional contributions to the development of aviation worldwide.

The Canada Aviation and Space Museum first opened in 1960 at Uplands Airport in Ottawa. At that time, it presented only one of the three major aeronautical collections held by the Canadian government. The Museum joined with the National Museum of Science and Technology in 1967. The National Aeronautical Collection continued to acquire both military and civil aircraft important to Canadian and world aviation history. The collection was officially renamed the National Aviation Museum in 1982.

In 1988, the current Museum display building opened. Two years later, in 1990, the National Museum of Science and Technology Corporation was incorporated, which now operates as Ingenium: Canada's Science and Innovation Museums. It included the National Aviation Museum and the National Museum of Science and Technology. The latter had by then become the Canada Science and Technology Museum. In 2000, the National Aviation Museum became the Canada Aviation Museum.

In 2005, the Museum building was supplemented by the Reserve Hangar. In 2010, when the Museum's mandate grew to include aerospace technology, its name was officially changed to the Canada Aviation and Space Museum.
