Historical Curriculum Collections (Alberta)

Digitized Collections

Print versions of this unique collection of Alberta Education curriculum guides, programs of study and historical textbooks are housed in the RCRF. These resources are of interest to researchers in all programs in the Faculty of Education.

Hosted through the Internet Archive, digitization of these items now enables many more researchers to search and obtain access to these historical documents.
