Alberta Mix Tape

For you to enjoy while out doing history or just to enjoy, the Historical Society of Alberta has put together this list of songs about Alberta. Note: we have been able to find over 200 of these songs through CDs and the internet but some may never have been recorded and, indeed, may not have been sung or played in many years.

For the purposes of our list, a song must be about an Alberta place, person or event (in whole or in part).

If you know of songs missing from the list, please send them our way: 403-261-3662 or [email protected].
