Book a Research Appointment

To manage capacity at the South Peace Regional Archives Reading Room we will be facilitating access by appointment only. During your appointment you will be able to access our holdings as well as our Reference Files and Library. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you soon!

 

How to book an appointment: 

  • If you already discussed your research with a staff member, whether by phone or email, please schedule your appointment with the same staff member.
  • Appointments can be booked online through the form below, or by calling 780-830-5105.
  • Appointments are available Wednesday – Saturday, 10:00am to 4:00pm (availability may vary between staff members)
  • Appointments can be booked in 1, 2, or 3 hour blocks.
  • In order to ensure access to multiple researchers we ask that researchers do not book more than 3 hours of research time per day. If for some reason you require more than 3 hours of time on a specific date please contact us directly at 780-830-5105 to discuss.
  • When booking please include as much detail about your project and what records you wish to access as possible. This will allow staff to prepare and pull materials prior to your arrival, and maximize your research time.
  • Before booking your appointment we recommend identifying which records you would like to see. Our research page will guide you through this process. Please provide as many details as possible about the records you hope to view.
