The Daniel Langlois Foundation Collection

Overview

The Foundation's documentation collection covers the major trends and practices that have emerged in electronic and media arts from the early sixties to today. The collection includes a vast array of documents from several sources. Support material for projects submitted to the Foundation as part of its annual calls for projects, as well as documents supplied by recipients of the Foundation’s financial assistance. The documentation collection includes traditional printed matter (books, catalogues), periodicals, CD-ROMs and other digital material, audio CDs, videotapes, films and slides. Also available are many background files on individuals and groups working in electronic and media arts. These files contain such material as press releases, invitations, leaflets and resumés.
