About

The goal of the South Peace Regional Archives is to gather, preserve, and share records of Alberta’s South Peace River region. These records come in various forms, including textual records, paper artifacts, photographs, maps, sound recordings, and film. The Archives processes and preserves historical records that have been donated to prolong their lifespan. We provide reference services and access to the records in the Archives’ collections through our public reading room and website.

We provide outreach events and services, including a quarterly magazine, guided tours, and archival exhibits shared throughout the community. We support Reconciliation work and the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

The Archives is the only public access archives within the South Peace River Country in Alberta, which includes the City of Grande Prairie, County of Grande Prairie, MD of Greenview, MD of Spirit River, County of Birch Hills and County of Saddle Hills.
