It's News To Me! produced and directed by Gareth Neufeld

  • CA CMBS NS12-01
  • Collection
  • 1986

This is a audio-visual presentation commissioned the three major Mennonite archives in Ontario -- Mennonite Archives of Ontario, Centre for Mennonite Brethren Studies and Mennonite Heritage Centre. The 17-minute presentation consisted of slides and a cassette recording, designed to both promote the archival institutions and to educate the public about the work of an archives. It starred a snoopy reporter who stumbles upon the Mennonite Heritage Centre, and realizing a good story when he sees one, seeks out the other two major archives in the Canadian Mennonite world.
Using shots from all three archives and featuring the real-life staff of the three archives as well as their researchers, writers/photographers Gareth Neufeld and Allan Siebert developed an entertaining and informative look at the world of an archives. (See Mennonite Historian, June 1986, p. 4.)
