Readings
While
there are some excellent studies of different facets
of Alberta’s architecture, there is no one
comprehensive history that sets out building types
and styles as well as eras.
Because of
the leadership of Alberta Culture in the designation and
protection of historic buildings enshrined in
legislation, the Ministry in its various incarnations
(Alberta Culture, Alberta Culture and Multiculturalism,
and, finally, Alberta Community Development) has played
an important role in promoting and publishing research
on the architectural heritage. Important publications
include:
 |

Landscape (Regina: Alberta Culture and the Canadian
Plains Research Center, University of Regina, 1985) |
