Do you have early Canadian film books, home movies you no longer want, movie posters with a Canadian film theme? Not interested in selling them on eBay where they get snatched up by overseas buyers? Want them available for film research or simply not sure what to do with them? Looking to determine their value? Is there an Archives in Canada that might be interested in acquiring them? Have questions but don't know where to go for information?

Then Canadianfilm.com wants to hear from you !

Canadianfilm.com is interested in buying or obtaining material related to the Canadian motion picture industry - the earlier the item the better! if you are not interested in selling them, and simply need information please feel free to contact me.

Some of the items I am interested in acquiring are;

 

motion picture films (8mm / Super8mm / 16mm / 28mm / 35mm). These can range from indiustrial films to old film prints that are simply gathering dust in the attic or basement. Are you tired of hanging on to old home movies that you no longer want or know what to do with? I can help in directing you to a film-to-DVD lab in your area or simply have them shipped to me at my cost.

 

documents (pamphlets, letters, movie posters, lobby cards, flyers, periodicals). Anything of a textual nature that contains information regarding the Canadian motion picture industry. Some of the names to look for are; CGMPB (Canadian Government Motion Picture Bureau); OMPB (Ontario Motion Picture Bureau); ASN (Associated Screen News), etc. If you are unsure as to the nature of the content, feel free to contact me.

 

books - These can range from small paperbacks, to large out of print hardcover volumes. If they are unwanted, or just taking up valuable space I am interested in acquiring them!

 

 

 

photographs - prints, postcards, negatives, glass slides, etc. If you would simply wish jelp in identifying the source or content please feel free to contact me and I will do my best to help you with information regarding your item.

 

 

cameras - Do you have an old motion picture film camera you are trying to identify or get rid of? Some of the cameras I am looking for specifically are 35mm motion picture cameras such as the Bell and Howell Eyemo. Some of these cameras were used during WWII by Canadian Army personnel to capture the war on film. Any information regarding the whereabouts of these film cameras would be invaluable. For more information on the Canadian Army Film Unit please go here.

What happens to items that are donated or sold to Canadianfilm.com?

Many, if most of the items will be itemized, notated and referenced online at Canadianfilm.com. This will enable others across the nation to obtain much needed information on a relatively rare topic; early Canadian film history. Some of the items will possibly be donated to the Library-Archives for long term care under ideal storage conditions.

If you are unsure as to the content or relevance to Canadian film please contact me and I will help as much as possible or aid you in getting in touch with an Archivist in your area.
