Toronto Unearthed
TORONTO UNEARTHED is the app for anyone who has ever wondered what Toronto looked like when saber toothed tigers hunted the shoreline, what games village children played here 800 years ago, and when Toronto officially became the final stop on the Underground Railroad.
TORONTO UNEARTHED is the world’s first appumentary: a multi-platform interactive production that combines on-camera interviews, b-roll, animation and illustration, archival images, audio, text and games to tell stories on mobile devices and the web. Smartphones take users to the streets with their own personal on-board archaeologist to reveal the stories hidden under their feet. torontounearthed.com builds the online community with a range of additional interactive options, more depth of archival material, extended interviews, and links to additional sources of information.
Lolamedia has been producing great story content for television, digital and print media for over 17 years. In association with the Chief Archaeologist for the City of Toronto and the Chief Historian/Associate Director of Heritage Toronto, Lolamedia is marrying our proven ability to produce, package and deliver great stories that appeal to a wide audience with two of Canada’s leading archaeology and history experts to create Toronto Unearthed.
