Grande Prairie and District Branch of the Alberta Genealogical Society fonds

  • GPR 0549
  • Fonds
  • 1974-2011

The fonds consists of records related to the operation and activities of the Grande Prairie and District Branch of the Alberta Genealogical Society. The material dates from 1974 to 2011 and includes records such as minutes, financial statements and ledgers, membership and newsletter exchange lists, surnames researched by members, correspondence, newspaper clippings and announcements, organizational records for a genealogical course and Gen Fair, resources compiled by the group on obituaries, grave markers, and vital statistics in newspaper articles, and the Heritage Seekers newsletter. The fonds also includes some records of the parent organization, most notably copies of the provincial Relatively Speaking newsletter.

The fonds is divided into seven series based on record type and content: Executive Records, Financial Records, Correspondence and Publicity, Programs and Events, Publications and Resources, and Alberta Genealogical Society.

Portions of the fonds had a strongly apparent original order, which has been maintained by the Archivist as much as possible. Other miscellaneous groups of records were integrated into the series structure by the Archivist. Since the records arrived in several accessions from several sources, an overall order was not apparent.
