Record information – Details Fonds/collection:CANADA. NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF CANADA / ARCHIVES NATIONALES DU CANADAAccession:1995-0112Media:VideoPart:1 of 1Production date:1992Production company:National Archives of CanadaDistributor name:Minister of Supply and ServicesDescription:Compiled by the National Archives of Canada, this video uses fictional characters to illustrate how the Archives functions and the type of material one may expect to find there. Attempting to attract the attention of average Canadians, it is stressed that the Archives are not just for use by historians. A variety of examples are used to illustrate this point including land claims research for Native Canadians, the Frances Anne Hopkins exhibit which inspired the completion of a thesis, and the inspiration an artist received by sifting through original fur trade documents. This video is an example of the National Archives' mandate to preserve the national memory while making collections accessible to all Canadians.Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
