"The Historical Society of Alberta has been making a positive contribution to this province since March 15, 1907. Its founding father was Alexander C. Rutherford, premier of the province, who also founded the University of Alberta, and for a number of years Society meetings were held on the University campus. The Historical Society of Alberta is now located in the historic Lancaster Building in Calgary, Alberta. The Society is a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Alberta history, in its many forms." See the society's web page advertising their new location. (
