The primary online resource for Directories for Albertan cities and towns is the University of Alberta Libraries' Peel's Prairie Provinces collecitons. Included are also a number of directories for Manitoba and Saskatchewan. For Alberta, coverage includes Edmonton & Strathcona (1908-1953), Calgary (1910-1953), Lethbridge (1914-1953), Medicine Hat and Redcliff (1914-1953), and "Alberta" (1911-1929). For each location several years are missing. The records can be browsed through each year's index. | The primary online resource for Directories for Albertan cities and towns is the University of Alberta Libraries' Peel's Prairie Provinces collecitons.
