The Canadian Advertising Museum was established to chronicle and preserve the history of Canadian advertising.

Advertising is a snap shot of our culture. It shows us what we bought, how we dressed, what we drove and what we thought of life in years gone by. CAM will catalogue, archive, display original Canadian work done in print, radio, television and digital media in primarily an electronic format to provide the widest possible access to the collection.

With funds raised, CAM hopes to have both a virtual online museum, and a physical museum to house Canada's creative advertising work. « less
