The late Isabel Campbell, a local reporter, host of a daily radio program entitled Heritage and eventually a historian set out to document the history of the Grande Prairie region. Two of her significant collections are: newspaper clippings and a large photographic collection. The later consists of more than 1,200 images of people, businesses, sports and other topics gleaned from the Daily Herald Tribune. This inventory of people and events are indexed and used in conjunction with the microfilmed Northern Tribune and Daily Herald Tribune, 1913–2014 to find the full-featured article. For the full Isabel Campbell Collection index refer to the South Peace Regional Archives ›

Depending upon the collection material, some items can be borrowed, whereas others must be used in the library. Our holdings and the public library’s local history collection can be found on the TRACpac ›  (The Regional Automation Consortium) website.  In partnership with several other library systems, viewers can search a combined catalogue with millions of books, periodicals and other material.

The public are encouraged to join us and explore our entire collection found in the Isabel Campbell Room at the Grande Prairie Public Library, #101, 9839 – 103 Avenue, Grande Prairie during operational hours. We would love to help you!
