While the content on the Virtual Museum of Canada is created by Canadian museums, it is administered by the Canadian Heritage Information Network which is an agency within the Department of Canadian Heritage[7].
The Virtual Museum of Canada provides an online environment for Canadian communities to tell their stories and preserve their history. One of the most popular sections of the VMC is their Community Memories section [8]. This is a place where smaller Canadian community museums, who are mostly volunteer run, can create online exhibits about their history.
