Alberta has a rich Scandinavian heritage and this informative book includes accounts and photos of more than 300 sites in the province that have strong Scandinavian connections – be they Icelandic, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, or Norwegian.

The book is being published by the Scandinavian Trade and Cultural Society, located in Edmonton.

Some of the featured sites in the book include churches, schools, settlements, historic buildings, museums, and monuments. These sites had people of Scandinavian heritage who were involved as founders, organizers, builders, attendees, workers, participants, or contributors.

In addition to providing a wealth of information about Alberta’s Scandinavian heritage, the book can be used as a travel guide. Should you wish to visit one or more of the featured sites in the book the maps and directions in it will help you plan an itinerary.

In producing the book, Society members have contacted and worked with a number of local people who were knowledgeable about particular sites. These people provided information and other materials. Some sent in photos or submitted written articles.
