STORIES Collections in development

A Black Presence in Alberta

The collection hosts ongoing work and welcomes contributions through community voices and work.

Join us as we continue to find ways to examine, discuss, share, celebrate, and amplify Black voices in order to learn and challenge our understandings of race, racialization, and racial identity in the context of colonial Canadian histories.

Make sure to check out our Virtual Exhibit And Still We Rise: A Black Presence in Alberta

Women’s Histories

The perspectives and stories of women have often been downplayed or excluded from representations of history. In this collection, discover parts of Edmonton’s heritage history by exploring the stories of women. 

We continue to learn and grow together as we build this collection to better amplify the voices and stories of diverse women.
