I N T R O D U C T I ON In 1975, Mrs. Zella Pimm of Grimshaw, Alberta ( who was then Provincial Education Convener for Agriculture and Canadian Industries for the Alberta Women's Institutes) decided that with 2,800 members scattered throughout the rural area of Alberta, the A. W. I, were in a perfect position to collect all the old pictures of Alberta agricultures in their communities. That year, albums of photos, each with a written description attached, were put together at every branch. In 1976, the best pictures from the various branch books were selected and put into books from the larger constituency areas. In 1977 Glenbow- Alberta Institute in Calgary agreed to make prints from the constituency books. Then, the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation's Mrs. Betty Dahlie, Arthur Gregg, and Dr. Grant MacEwan selected the best of the constituency books. In 1978 the Alberta Women's Institute Committee selected the best pictures for the various chapters of the book. Dr. Grant MacEwan then made the final selection of approximately 450 pictures. These were made up into two albums for our 1979 Alberta Women's Institute convention. As 1980 is Alberta's anniversary year, and as these pictures depict Alberta's agricultural history all the way from the teepee rings found on agricultural land right up to modern machinery and homesteads, we decided to publish this book, thus making all the work that has been done worthwhile. We hope it gives pleasure to everyone! Norma K . Christie, Chairman, Pictorial History Committee, Alberta Women's Institutes
