Call for Story Contributors Edmonton City as Museum Project.

Are you interested in the history of this place?

Do you enjoy writing, researching, or storytelling?

Is there a story from our city’s past or your past in the city that you want to share?

Then contribute your local history or heritage story to the Edmonton City as Museum Project (ECAMP). ECAMP is an initiative of the Edmonton Heritage Council that explores our city’s history & heritage through story.

For 2021, ECAMP is soliciting new stories for its online collection. Stories will be published on the ECAMP website from January through June 2021.

Story contributors will be paid for their work. For 2021, priority will be given to stories and story contributors historically excluded from representations of Edmonton’s past, such as Indigenous and racialized peoples, members of the LGBTQ2S+ community, & later twentieth-century newcomers.

To submit an application, schedule a virtual “in-person” submission, or to ask a question, please contact the ECAMP Curator, Christina Hardie. Project Contact Christina Hardie, ECAMP Curator E: info@citymuseumedmonton.ca T: 780-429-0166 ext. 223
