Our displays trace the history of Edmonton Public Schools since its beginning in 1881. One of our more interesting records is the original first Tax Assessors Roll, for 1886 to 1902, for all of Edmonton. (Therein lies a tale!)

The third floor features the restored legislative Chamber of 1906. Other displays feature era classrooms of the 1920s and 1950s and special subjects such as the Edmonton Schoolboys' Band and School Cadets.

We offer visitors copies of 'history snippets' about Edmonton Public Schools. Here is a sampling from The Archivist's Corner, written by Michael A. Kostek.
