The writing of biographies of members and their families continued and a two volume publication was the result. These books are available at the City of Edmonton Archives and the Legislative Library. Additional information has been collected and indexes are continually being updated to included new material. | The Northern Alberta Pioneers and Old Timers’ Association dates back to 1894.
