Latest Exhibit celebrates 100 Years of Alberta Labour!
"In 2012, Alberta's workers and their unions will mark 100 years of the Alberta Federation of Labour (AFL), an organization that has touched the lives of millions of union members and positively influenced the lives of many more Albertans.
The AFL was formed when a group of railway workers, miners, farmers, typographers and trades people met in Lethbridge, Alberta in 1912 to unite in common cause."
Everyone is invited to come to the Archives during June & learn more about Alberta Labour history....

Hinton Archives background
The new Coal Branch Archives was added to the Library as part of renovations in 2007. Special considerations include environmental controls, supervised access and a research area.
"The mandate of the Hinton Coal Branch Archives is to promote and encourage the appreciation and study of the history of Hinton and surrounding area by acquiring, preserving and making accessible to the public, records in any format which reflect the history of this area."
