TVO digitizes its archives

Yesterday, TVO, Ontario's public broadcaster, launched its public archive of digitized content ... for FREE on its Web site. A great resource and a wonderful example of information-sharing, but more importantly, endless viewings of Today's Special!

From the TVO Web site:

TVO’s Public Archive, the centerpiece of TVO’s 40th anniversary initiatives, is a free online resource that offers Ontarians access to historic TVO content from the past 40 years.Located at archive.tvo.org, it will play an important role in preserving the culture and history of Ontario – it’s a matter of civic pride.“We’ll be unlocking some of TVO”s best educational content from the last 40 years and making it available for free in our new public archive. This includes rare interviews, Ontario stories and kids content that stands the test of time,” said CEO Lisa de Wilde.
