Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody knew where I could access to some old newspapers based in Alberta. I've been working on expanding information about the Calgary music scene in MusicBrainz, and I've been getting to a point where finding information on some bands online has been a pain with some having next to no information online.

Thanks for any help in advance!

I used to work for the Alberta Heritage Digitization Project, in the mid 2000's. We were scanning all the newspapers on microfiche from the late 1800s to like 2000 i think. A quick search looks like Calgary public has access, if not we were based at the u of c. They probably have it hosted somewhere.
