Foundation wants to stash Canada’s broadcast archive in Cold War bunker


OTTAWA—It could give a whole new meaning to buried treasure. A national foundation wants to store millions of videos, films and other recordings 60 storeys underground in an old Norad bunker near North Bay, Ont. in an effort to preserve the vast electronic record of Canadian history. The Canadian Broadcast Museum Foundation is talking to federal officials about turning the mothballed complex into a secure repository for the country’s endangered audio-visual archive. Kealy Wilkinson, the foundation’s executive director, says the space needed to safeguard the CBC/Radio-Canada collections alone will be about one million cubic feet.
