The National Aviation Museum (a component museum of the National Museum
of Science and Technology Corporation), in co-operation with Digital
Renaissance of Toronto, has prepared a multimedia database on the Avro
Arrow, a supersonic aircraft developed by A.V. Roe Canada in the 1950s.
In the summer of 1997, Bell Canada embarked on a series of trials of
ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) high-speed networks in London,
Ontario and Repentigny, Quebec, that offer subscribers a chance to receive
multimedia information, broadcasts, community services and Internet
access on their personal computers or on a network computer hooked to
their television set (set-top box). For this subscription service, the
National Aviation Museum's Avro Arrow database will allow users to view
an original 34-minute video documentary, and to search an interactive
database that includes not only essays by the Museum's curators, but
a rich assemblage of archival photographs from the Museum collection,
film and radio clips from the CBC archives, newspaper and magazine articles.
