Collection search - Audio-visual material collected by the Commission of Inquiry into the Air Ontario crash at Dryden, Ontario [moving images, sound recording, textual record]

This accession consists of records created and/or maintained by the Commission of Inquiry into the Air Ontario crash at Dryden, Ontario. Accession consists primarily of audio-visual material collected or created by the Commission to use as background material or evidence in their investigation, such as tests run by the Canadian Aviation Safety Board and various news coverage of the accident and subsequent investigation. The accession also includes video recordings of the Commission's proceedings and witness statements, as well as audio recordings and textual transcripts of the air traffic control station(s) on the night of the accident.

Some of the audio-visual material in this accession appears to have been created by other government institutions, namely the Canadian Aviation Safety Board (now the Transportation Safety Board) and Transport Canada. This material was presumably collected by the Commission of Inquiry as background material and evidence.
