Located in the historic Prince of Wales Armouries Heritage Centre, the City of Edmonton Archives is a public research facility housing civic government and private records of enduring significance that document Edmonton's history. Everyone is welcome to use the Archives and enjoy the changing exhibits in the public areas of the building. The Archives reference room is wheelchair accessible.
City of Edmonton Archives Catalogue
The City of Edmonton Archives catalogue has a new website where you can research Edmonton's past administrations, decisions, and history. The new website will help you find various entries in our collection, including photographs and digitized documents.
The migration of our archival information is a work-in-progress as we continually add new content. Although we will be adding digitized material, you may need to come to the Archives to view some documents.
