Humberstone Mine
This bibliography is designed to situate the records used in the City of Edmonton Archives Humberstone Mine Virtual Exhibit in their larger context. It shows where these disparate records come from, grouping them by creator rather than by subject.
Wherever possible, links to catalogue entries in our online catalogue have been included. We also have some further catalogue information in our reference room.
