The Video Collection, C 26, is arranged and described at the item level. This collection consists of 356 analog video recordings shot in various video formats. The formats included ¾", ½" VHS, and Betacam videotape cassettes.
The collection documents the annual Canadian National Exhibition during the years 1981 to 1991. It also includes some non-CNE-period videos pertaining to the upkeep and development of Exhibition Place, and the off-season use of the grounds.
