South Peace Regional Archives

SPRA aims to promote and encourage the appreciation and study of history in the south Peace River District by acquiring, preserving, and making accessible to the public records of on-going value from individuals, families, organizations, businesses, and government, which reflect the political, social and economic life of the area.
SPRA's collection mandate covers the City of Grande Prairie, County of Grande Prairie, Municipal District of Greenview, Municipal District of Spirit River, Birch Hills County, and Saddle Hills County.   SPRA's collection includes photographs, documents, maps and plans, architectural drawings, reference books and newspapers, and sound and video recordings. 
Sound recordings give a unique opportunity to hear the story of a person in their own voice and manner of expression. Film held by SPRA is frequently part of family collections and provides a window into the daily life of the family and the community around them.
