Alex Johnston Lecture: Making Mr. Denney's Archive

  • Galt Museum & Archives 502 1 St S Lethbridge Canada (map)

Join Carleton University's Associate Professor of History, Michel Hogue, as he discusses research done by Alberta-based genealogists who helped create some of the early archival collections on Métis genealogy in the 1970s and 1980s.
Researchers included folklorists, journalists, biographers, and genealogists, many of whom worked outside the academy and often in collaboration with Métis community members. Their work, done primarily in the 1970s to 1990s, transformed Métis historiography.

Free Admission, Everyone welcome.
