Visit the Provincial Archives

The homestead files can be viewed in the Sandra Thomson Reading Room of the Provincial Archives of Alberta. After finding film and file numbers from the Homestead Index the researcher has easy access to all files of interest. Microfilm readers and printers, and photocopying services are available.
