OPL history books help make my historical documentary films

Over the past few years I have made a series of six short historical documentary films for the Township of Rideau Lakes. For each of them, I have relied upon the great collection of OPL historical nonfiction books to do my research. For my film about a WWI temporary cottage hospital for soldiers suffering from PTSD, I relied heavily on several OPL books by historian, Tim Cook, about the First World War. I got a nice comment on YouTube from Tim Cook about my film. And subsequently, I won the Ontario Historical Society's President's Award for the films. I couldn't have done it without the Ottawa Public Library. Here is a link to the film. Below that is a link to the Township of Rideau Lakes website which has links to all six films, including the one that just came out last Friday, Oct 18 2024.
