| Abstract | The article presents a research report based on a national telephone survey conducted in Canada regarding the everyday use and interaction with the past in the nation. Details are given outlining the methodology, results, and analysis of the study. Questions raised by the authors include the level in which Canadians formally or informally interact with historical media, how they evaluate historical information and memory, and what varieties of history are a priority to them. Particular focus is given to the role of collective memory and identity in marginal or minority groups and the significance of the concept of nation-state in citizens' daily lives.
