    Love Data Week 2025: “Whose Data Is It, Anyway?”

    From February 10-14, 2025, the international community will celebrate Love Data Week, exploring critical questions about data ownership and origins. This year’s theme challenges us to examine where data comes from and who owns it before we use it in our work.

    The U of A Library invites you to participate virtually in  Love Data Week activities hosted by the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR), an international consortium of more than 750 academic institutions (including University of Alberta) and research organizations. 

    Visit Love Data Week 2025 – International Events to sign up for online sessions hosted by post-secondary institutions from around the world.

    by Guest Author November 26, 2024

    The Henderson’s Directories of Canadian cities are among the most popular resources scanned and maintained by the University of Alberta Library. However, the historical background for the directories is difficult to find online – and as the team maintaining the digital copies, we are hoping to shed some light on this previously-obscure context. Published starting around 1880, the Henderson’s Directories covered many major cities of Canada, especially in the prairie region. The…
