Happy International Archives Day!

The archives at the Musée Héritage Museum would like to highlight one of its projects in honour of International Archives Day.  The archives has recently begun processing photographs donated from the St. Albert Historical Society.  This photograph collection consists of over 1000 photographs ranging from the 1880s to 1970s.  With the help of the Archives Society of Alberta (ASA), these images will be available to the public online in the early fall via the ASA database: http://asalive.archivesalberta.org:8080/access/asa/photo/.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the photographs in the collection...
