An Archive in Grande Prairie, Alberta Gets a New Home

A new public archive facility in Grande Prairie will help preserve the history of Alberta’s South Peace region for generations to come. “People can come and … contribute to their own history,” Ellyn Vandekerkhove, executive director of the South Peace Regional Archives, said at a grand opening on Wednesday.

Previously housed in the Grande Prairie Museum, the archives is now occupying 7,555 square feet of space in Centre 2000, a community facility in Grande Prairie’s Muskoseepi Park.

Members of the public and researchers can examine the archival materials in the reading room. The materials are stored in a vault, where they reside in boxes on metal shelves. The archives now takes up more than 7,500 square feet in Centre 2000, a community facility in Grande Prairie, Alberta.
