Alberta's society and culture over the past hundreds of
years make up its heritage today. Our heritage is
significant because it gives us a sense
of our past and helps to define us as individuals
and communities.
The province has kept its heritage alive through the
world-class museums, archives, historic sites, and
architectural sites which are located all around the
province.
At Alberta museums, you can learn about the dinosaurs
that once roamed the area we know today as Alberta or
you can see, firsthand, the earliest planes and
automobiles. Go to one of the archives in the province
and you can find records of the past, preserved on paper
or film. Alberta's historic sites showcase living
history, so that you can actually experience eras or
places that no longer exist today. A tour through a
historic building can also provide that special feeling
as if you're stepping back in time.
