| Front Flap: This catalogue introduces the work of Miriam Green Ellis (1879-1964), pioneer woman journalist of Western Canada. Never one to follow a typical path, she steered clear of the "women's page" and society columns; her livelihood was the agricultural beat. Ellis's daring journey by river steamer from Edmonton to Aklavik in 1922-documented with a diary, travelogue, photographs and slides-launched and illustrated her subsequent "Land of the Midnight Sun" lectures, and secured her position as Western Editor for the Family Herald and Weekly Star. The materials she bequeathed to the University of Alberta include published newspaper articles, photographs, coloured glass slides, manuscripts, diaries, and letters; the Collection's cultural and ethnographic value to researchers is unparalleled. Miriam Green Ellis: Champion of the West samples the rich diversity of the Collection, while inviting you to see the way we were as Westerners almost a century ago and demonstrating why the West remained Ellis's emotional home. Back Jacket: The Miriam Green Ellis (MGE) Collection is an outstanding example of the Canadiana collections housed at the University of Alberta Libraries. They are representative of our special mandate to collect and preserve books, printed ephemera, maps, manuscripts, and photographs related to the history of Canada's three Prairie provinces. The printed heritage of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba, including that recorded in Peel's Bibliography of the Canadian Prairies to 1953 (2003), may be found on our Peel's Prairie Provinces Website (http://peel.library.ualberta.ca), where thousands of these texts are freely available online. The Bruce Peel Special Collections Library offers a range of virtual exhibitions which highlight unique aspects of its collections, including a complementary online exhibition of the MGE Collection (http://www.library.ualberta.ca/specialcollections/). |
