About the Book

Alberta is distinctive both for its awe-inspiring natural wonders and its fascinating history. From the earliest footprints of human settlement to today’s dynamic society, Alberta has captivated countless generations who have visited or settled in this remarkable province.

To celebrate Alberta’s centennial in 2005, this two-volume edition features thirty eminent historians contributing articles spanning an incredible 12,000 years of history and encompassing the archaeological foundations, the natural resources, and the social and political development of the province.

From the primordial to the present, Alberta Formed – Alberta Transformed is the definitive record of the people, places, and events that have defined our province and made Alberta one of the most vibrant areas of the country – and the world.
