[SIGCIS-Members] Seeking visual resources for a TV show

[christine mitchell]

Hi SIGCIS members,

Long-time member, first time poster! I'm hoping to connect with librarians,
archivists and/or collectors regarding public domain and low- or no-cost
visual materials (clips/images) for a kids educational TV show I'm writing
and producing.

It's a magazine-style show for kids 8-12 for TVO (TV Ontario, Canada's
public broadcaster). Each episode delves into some aspect of the digital
technologies kids use every day – from data centers to undersea cables, to
recommendation engines, genAI, computer vision, e-waste, etc. In each
episode, kid hosts meet an expert to explore how these technologies
function in a fun, accessible way. The goal is to encourage kids to get
inquisitive about their digital tech and use it in informed ways.

Several episodes will have a brief "Tech Tangent" segment covering a cool
story from computer history. One on ELIZA, one on floppy disk storage and
the "Save" icon. We're still in a pre-production phase, so other topics
remain TBA.

Our budget is limited and I anticipate that stock image libraries we have
access to may not have sufficient or suitable imagery for the computer
history segments.

If anyone can point me to contacts or resources that would be helpful to
the project, I'd be grateful for all ideas and replies – feel free to
contact me off-list.

Thanks so much!
Christine
