We included a few years ago, a page on Book Towns, which is a quirky part of book history. Generally situated in areas with depressed economies, book towns are places where most of the commercial space has been turned over to antiquarian book sellers. They have brought much needed tourist dollars to the local areas.


A generous grant from Canwest media allowed us to create MediaCan, an online resource for the study of Canadian Media.


We went on to create  the Canadian Film Library. We have digitized 26 rare, or hard to find, Canadian movies along with 15 discussions with filmmaker. This led us to develop a more ambitious website, Canadian Film Online.
