Archives
Glenbow Archive, Library, and Museum

The Glenbow Archives and Library has an excellent collection of resources for the study of Métis genealogy. Their sources cover predominantly Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and some parts of the Northwest Territories, Ontario, and British Columbia.

Most of our sources pertain to people who were living in the Prairie Provinces in 1900 or earlier.

One unique collection is the Gail Morin who donated her 40,000 name database to the archive in 2011. The database is ancestral quest format and all in families with sources.
