Cole & Associates EDMONTON'S HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS: ARTIFACT CENTRE & ARCHIVES STRA TEGY EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Edmonton 2008 Art of Living Cultural Plan emphasizes the need to support the future of arts and heritage in Edmonton. The Cultural Plan recommended Edmonton prepare for the future needs and best public use of the City’s collections, including preservation of the collections at the Artifact Centre, the future storage and programming needs of the City Archives, and the development of a City Museum. The Artifact Centre and Archives Strategy Report was created in response to the recommendations of the Cultural Plan and is intended to: • Assess the City Collections including: the Artifact Centre Collection, partners of the City collections, and other additional or relevant City collections • Determine the future collection management requirements of the Artifact Collection • Define the rationale and needs for a facility that will serve the dual functions of collection storage and preservation for the Artifact Collection • Assess the feasibility of co-locating the City Archives' storage needs with the Artifact Centre. History of the City Collections The City of Edmonton Collections originates from the efforts of the Archives Committee, established in 1938, who were responsible for collecting archives and artifacts reflecting municipal heritage. The renamed Archives and Landmarks Committee later evolved into the Edmonton Historical Board and since 1973 the City Collections were divided into the City of Edmonton Archives and the City of Edmonton Artifact Collection. The Archives Collections reside at the Prince of Wales Armouries in a purpose built facility and the Artifact Collection is maintained at the Artifact Centre - the re-purposed O’Keefe Brewery. History of the future City Museum A number of proposals to develop a City Museum for Edmonton have been considered over the years. Most recently, during the 2007 cultural planning process, the Edmonton Arts Council established a Museum Steering Committee and commissioned a study to examine the possibility of establishing a ‘city’ or ‘civic’ museum for Edmonton, and consider the need for a support program for local museums. This resulted in related heritage recommendations in the Art of Living Cultural Plan. Collection Assessment The Consultants performed an assessment of the City Artifact Collection at the Artifact Centre from a curatorial perspective. This initial assessment was undertaken to provide a basis for general facility planning for the City Artifact Collection. Actual collection acquisition, de-accession, and disposition decisions will require additional, detailed professional study. The general assessment found that a number of artifacts are in poor condition, and does not adequately cover all themes of importance in Edmonton's history. If the Artifact Collection is intended to represent Edmonton’s heritage, as well as support the further development of Fort Edmonton Park, and a proposed City Museum, it will need further development based on a revised collection policy and under the guidance of a curatorial committee. Lundholm Associates Architects in association with 28 February 2011 i Catherine C. Cole & Associates CITY OF EDMONTON, COMMUNITY SERVICES EDMONTON HERITAGE COUNCIL 28 February 2011 Lundholm Associates Architects in association with Catherine C. Cole & Associates EDMONTON'S HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS: ARTIFACT CENTRE & ARCHIVES STRATEGY The Consultants also performed a detailed review of other City collections, the collections of the partners of the City, and other local museum collections of interest, to determine the rationale of absorbing these collections into the City Artifact Collection. It was determined that the City should not anticipate or pursue consolidating these collections, as the number of artifacts that would be relevant to the City Collection are marginal. In lieu of the acquisitions of artifacts from other City collections, the Consultants propose the source of additional artifacts should be the careful acquisition of selected artifacts from private collections. Proposed Collection Strategy Based on consultation with the Steering Committee and relevant stakeholders, the Consultants pursued a collection strategy that requires the City to continue its support of Fort Edmonton

The FWC has had a productive fall. First, we began our year with a successful and well-attended Wine and Cheese Registration Event. Thank you to Cathy, Pat, and others for all your hard work in providing and preparing the food, to Marie and others for manning the registration table, and to those members who volunteered their time at the event to welcome and provide tours to new members. Second, we have recently launched our new website; thank you to Christine for your patience, persistence, and hours of work in making this happen! Finally, the Program Committee (Cathy, Katia, and Judith) is working hard to plan some upcoming club-wide events, including the Robin Hood pantomime at Fort Edmonton in December and the Alberta Legislature tour in March. Personally, I have been enjoying my last few weeks of leave with Emma (now ten months old!) and Kevin. We are looking forward to Emma’s first Christmas with family in Vancouver, and even dressed her up as an elf for Halloween in anticipation. I will return to work full time in January, which seems a bit daunting – but I know many thousands of parents have done it before me, and I know that I have a wonderful network of support from the FWC. In closing, I wish you all a holiday that is warm, bright, and full of fun and friendship! Sarah Moore email: [email protected] December 2016 www.ualberta.ca/faculty-and-staff/faculty-womens-club 1 S E A S O N’ S G R E E T I N G S! from your Executive It’s that time of year again when many of our members are decorating their homes and cooking up a storm in the kitchen, preparing to celebrate.
