The history of the magazine

For the first time, we bring you the history of the magazine in excerpts from two anniversay issues--at 10 years and at 25. It's been an enlightening and sometimes wild ride, and it's a great read...


In Search of the Sixties


We are now producing Volume 10 of the Alberta in the Twentieth Century series of history books. It will cover the Sixties, including everything from the fads and foibles of youth culture and the rise of modern feminism to Ernest Manning's last decade in power and the arrival of Pierre Trudeau. We need your help to tell the story of this extraordinary decade. If you have any memorabilia that could be used as illustrations--photographs, posters, clothes, books, magazines, bumper stickers, pamphlets--and you would be willing to loan it to us, please contact ATC Research Director James Leech at 780-930-7839 or aresearch1@compusmart.ab.ca.
