Dr. William C. Wonders MA., DR., F.R.S.C. (1924-2011) was a Canadian Geographer whose research interests spanned the human geography of Canada (with an emphasis on the North), the Western United States, Great Britain, and Nordic countries. Dr. Wonders was instrumental in the initiation of the map collection as a vital component of the University of Alberta Geography Department back in the 1960's. Today this collection, which bears his name, is the largest academic map collection in Canada and is a valuable resource for our research community.
