Maureen Salter shared news about the move of the Peel's Prairie Provinces resource from the University of Alberta's Library to Internet Archive. This should ease access to the information, as our Canadian members often state that searching seems to be difficult on many of their websites. The move is currently in progress and the information can be accessed in either place.
Peel's Prairie Provinces is a collection of digitized materials relating to the history and culture of Western Canada. Books, newspapers, images and maps are featured selections on the site.
To reach the original site -- http://peel.library.ualberta.ca/index.html
To learn about the resource -- https://www.library.ualberta.ca/peel/how-to-use-this-collection
To reach Peel on Internet Archive -- https://archive.org/details/peel/
The biggest plus about the move is that Internet Archive generally allows searching within the specific resource. In other words, if you select a book you can generate a surname search in that particular book.
