Its images and links won't load until it's back. Panarchive shows each image straight from the archive's own website, so when that site is down the picture can't be shown here. Nothing is lost: everything returns once the archive is back up, and we check every few minutes.

Scope & content
The series provides information on various documentaries Brian McKenna worked on throughout his career. It covers documentaries that he produced for the CBC, and especially for The Fifth Estate, as well as independent productions, and even film proposals that finally never had been produced. The series spans from the 13-minute documentary Thomas D’Arcy McGee, McKenna’s first film that he wrote and directed for CBC City at 6 in 1973, to his later works as an independent filmmaker, as Newfoundland at Armageddon. The series contains most of the research material gathered in the preparation of the documentaries as well as occasional comments, reviews and other feedback, and awards received. Finally, the series includes Brian McKenna’s contribution to CBC radio in 1971. The series is organized into the following subseries: • G1 Film proposals and ideas • G2 CBC radio scripts • G3 CBC The City at 6 • G4 CBC documentaries • G5 CBC Current Affairs : The Fifth Estate • G6 Independently produced documentaries. The series contains, but is not limited to, scripts, interviews, research material, drafts, notes, correspondence, press clippings, film proposals, monographs, court records, photographs, publications, objects, a report, videos, sound recordings, financial records, posters, and other documents.
