The following tables were compiled by South Peace Regional Archives from the indices of community history books relating to the South River Country of Alberta. The tables are organized in alphabetical order by surname (or topic), then first name. The name of the book the reference is found in and the page number within that book are also given for each entry. There are entries for individuals, families, communities, associations, topics, poems, etc. Because the entries have been compiled from several sources, the specific formatting of entries may vary.
Print copies of all of the books are available for review at South Peace Regional Archives and may also be available through your local library. Some community history books have been digitized and are available here. Books that have been digitized include:
Grande Prairie: Capitol of the Peace
These digitized books are fully searchable if you are looking for a specific name.
