Made between 1918 and 1929, these Canadian films are a useful resource for historical research and teaching. They also complement other primary sources. Widely viewed and popular with the public at the time, they are useful for understanding how perceptions and perspectives were influenced and constructed.

This specific Library and Archives Canada film collection is significant, exceeding 1,000 films. Their subjects are diverse and will be of interest to labour and social historians; better farming techniques, celebrations of industrial technology, scenic vacation spots for the leisure class and appropriate workplace behavior, are just some subjects addressed by the films in the collection.

Thanks, Frank- - I'm saving the link to watch these for a rainy day, or for later
this month when I'll have to kill some time sitting in an airport between flights.

Nothing beats learning about better farming techniques while sitting at the airport!
