The City of Edmonton Archives is located in the historic Prince of Wales Armouries. Begun in 1913, the main feature of the 80,000 sq. ft. building was a huge drill hall where generations of soldiers and cadets trained. It was so large that in 1992 a new building to house the citys archival collections was constructed inside it. There are documents of Edmontons history in all forms-paper, audio tape, photograph, map, film, video and computer disk. Everyone is welcome to use the research room and enjoy the changing exhibits in the public areas.
Mon-Fri 8:30-4:30. No admission charge. Wheelchair accessible. 10440-108 Avenue, Edmonton. . Web site: www.gov.edmonton.ab.ca/parkrec/archives
