A Bibliography of the Cultural History of the German-speaking Community in Alberta: 1882-2005

This Bibliography documents the cultural history of the German-speaking cultural group in Alberta from its beginnings in the 1880s to the present by assembling in one place references to the thousands of primary and secondary materials available in libraries and archives across Alberta and elsewhere. The objective of this project is to facilitate research in German-Albertan history by scholars, teachers, students, and anyone else interested in the subject.

The Database allows users to access Métis related archival information, previously only available at Library and Archives Canada (Ottawa) or on microfilm. It is intended for genealogists and Métis to construct Métis family trees using the documents in the database. Providing Métis users with access to their ancestors’ documents facilitates the process of cultural re-connection, identity reclamation, and nation building.
