Dr Jim Ellis, Director of the Calgary Institute for the Humanities at U of C will talk about the Calgary Atlas Project. He will be joined by Contributors to the recent Map featuring Animals in our City.
The Calgary Atlas Project seeks to recover crucial stories about Calgary’s past and present, stories that illuminate in surprising ways the character and diversity of the city. Forgotten or overlooked stories from Calgary’s history are mapped onto the city’s geography, highlighting significant sites, events, and people in Calgary’s past. Ultimately the project will produce eighteen to twenty maps, spanning the earliest moments of habitation and settlement to the latest re-developments. Some examples include First Nations Stampede, Labor History, Art, Movies, Literary figures and Wrestling.
