If you scroll all the way down to the very first RETROactive blog post from January 2011, you’ll see that it began as an initiative of the Historic Places Stewardship section to share information about historic places in Alberta. Over 800 blog posts and 15 years later, RETROactive has become a staple for heritage enthusiasts across the province. In that spirit, we are now launching RETROactive Live: the Alberta Heritage Speaker Series. Join us for free, online evening presentations on Alberta history and heritage topics later this spring.
Our first presentation will be delivered on May 4, 2026 by staff Archaeologist, Dr. Todd Kristensen. Todd will be speaking about ancient jade artifacts and the role the public played in helping to discover this aspect of Alberta’s archaeological history.
