We're super proud to be a Recognized Museum with Alberta Museums Assn. Check out our shiny new sign!!
As we look forward into 2021, we'd like to thank Alberta Museums Assn for supporting our Director of Visitor Services post in 2020 and 2021 via their Operational Grant program. Jess and Cory helped us survive 2020 and we're lucky to have Cory coordinating our front-of-house in 2021!
It's May Day and we're remembering the 210 men and boys who died in the Drumheller coal mines. Joe Vickers's poignant 'Young Black Lungs' is a fitting tribute and highlights why the labour activism behind May Day was, and continues to be, important. youtu.be/CoOAxbEWXuc
Our Executive Director @newsteadarch presented a twitter paper at Soc Post-Med Archaeology #PMAC21 conference on the Atlas' history as a historic site this morning. Check it out!
We had a great visit with David Goldstein from Travel Alberta this morning. Of course, Jay had some neat stories about the 'marketing magic' the Atlas used to sell its coal! #CanadianBadlands #AlbertaMuseums #ExploreAlberta
