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!
