Historian in Residence

Chat about Calgary's past.

The Historian in Residence is a six-month paid residency supporting researchers in any genre related to the social, cultural, and built history of Calgary, Treaty 7 and Métis Nation Battle River Territory, Nose Hill Métis District 5, and Elbow Métis District 6.

They deliver free programs, offer mentorship, and curate an exhibit at Central Library.

Presented in partnership with Heritage Calgary.
