History
The Audio-Visual Branch was formed in 1972 when the Ontario Ministry of Industry and Tourism was created, and took over functions previously carried out by the Publicity Branch of the Ontario Department of Tourism and Information, and assumed some functions of Information Services of the Ontario Department of Trade and Development. Within the new ministry, it formed part of the Communications Division.
In 1974, the Audio-Visual Branch ceased to exist when branches within the Communications Division were restructured into the Communications Services Branch and the Communications Planning Branch. The functions of the Audio-Visual Branch were assumed by the Communications Services Branch.
