Hiding in Plain Sight:
Discovering the Metis Nation
Exhibition
|
|
In the 18th century, the Hudson’s Bay Company and the North West Company established a series of trading posts. A result of these interactions was marital or common-law unions between Europeans involved in the fur trade and First Nations women. In time, their descendants came to be known as “Métis.”
Exhibition runs from:
January 10th - May 3rd, 2020

100 Years of the
Canadian National Railway
Exhibition
|
|
Stemming from the collapse of private railway companies, the Canadian National Railway was founded in 1919, saving the lifeline of Jasper. Canada’s road to independence has always been tied to the coming and going of people and goods along the tracks for a century. The Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives is celebrating this milestone with an exhibit detailing the rise of railways in Canada and the critical role it played in the development of Jasper and Jasper National Park. How it changed the lives of people on trains, near stations, and those travelling – as well as how it shaped the way Canadians look at their national history and relation with each other. Celebrate past triumphs, new beginnings, and hardships set around the rails.
Exhibition runs from:
July 26th - November 17th, 2019
Come join us for 100 years on the rails

Dorothy Joan Robson Collection
'Watercolor Painter'
Art Exhibition
|
|
(Dorothy) Joan (1906 - 2001) was a self-taught botanist and talented watercolour painter. She was an avid outdoorswoman and pressed many of the flowers she found in her travels. In 1967, she was granted a rare, official dispensation to pick the flowers in a National Park (Jasper). In July 1927, Joan was a member of the Jack Brewster pack horse trip on the Glacier Trail, from Jasper to the Columbia Icefields, before the road was built. Joan later worked for the Imperial Bank in Jasper and for the Parks Canada Commission. The Robson family home was moved from its original location to the 400 block of Patricia where it is currently used as the office for the Jasper Chamber of Commerce.
Exhibition runs from:
January 15th - March 31st, 2019
Closing Wine & Cheese Reception:
Friday, March 15th
4pm - 7pm
At Joan's former Residence which is now occupied by the Jasper Chamber of Commerce
409 Patricia St.
Tours of the house will be provided
Joan’s watercolors and other early images as well as the flowers that she picked in 1967 were donated to the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives in 1993.

ENEMY ALIENS
INTERNMENT IN CANADA, 1914 - 1920
|
|
As the British Empire went to war in 1914, thousands of newly - arrived European immigrants to Canada fell under suspicion as citizens of enemy empires. National security fears and wartime prejudice drove the policy of internment, which lasted until 1920. During this time, Canada interned 8,579 men identified as enemy aliens, mainly Ukrainian and German immigrants, across a network of 24 camps. Now, 100 years later, using photographs drawn from Canadian archival collections, Enemy Aliens – Internment in Canada, 1914–1920 explores internment operations and the experiences of the internees: who they were, the conditions they endured, and the legacy they left behind.
Exhibition runs until September 30, 2018

Lake Edith Artists Exhibition
|
|
The Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives are once again proud to host the artists of Lake Edith. For the past 22 years the Lake Edith artists have presented their work bi-annually in our gallery.
Their artwork is representative of the surrounding landscape and animals in the environment through painting, sculpture, photography and textile art forms.
The Sub-division of Lake Edith was conceived by Agnes Laut in the 1920's when she petitioned the Federal Government for 10 lots so that writers and artists could establish a community to foster their representation of the Park. Some of the original cabins are still in use and many have been passed down through multiple generations.
The artistic history of Lake Edith influenced many residents to train formally as artists at University or Art Colleges, or informally develop their artwork by attending workshops and maintaining a vigorous practise.
Exhibition runs from:
May 7th - May 27, 2018

Mary Schäffer and Women in the Rocky Mountains of Canada
|
|
Features two exhibitions, Secret No Longer: Mary Schäffer’s Jasper, 1908 and 1911 and This Wild Spirit: Women in the Rocky Mountains of Canada.
When viewed together, these shows foster deeper insight into Mary Schäffer’s photographic legacy in Jasper and its place among women’s creative practices in the Canadian Rockies.
Mary Schäffer was a photographer, writer, and botanical painter from Philadelphia who garnered an international reputation for her images, books, and mountain journeys in 1907, 1908, and 1911 to find and map Maligne Lake. And yet, she was not a lone adventurer off the beaten tracks of the railway and its tourist amenities.
She worked within a diverse web of women who made significant contributions to Rocky Mountain histories and cultures, both in Schäffer’s day and afterwards.
Exhibition runs from:
January 18 - April 29, 2018

This exhibit will appeal to people who are interested in glaciers, trees and scientific research-especially people who have been to or are planning to visit the Columbia Icefield or Mount Edith Cavell area.
Dr. Brian Luckman and his students have studied glaciers and tree rings in the Rockies for more than 40 years. This exhibit shares their adventures as they uncover the mysteries of glaciers and their movements over many years. You will learn about tree rings and the stories they tell and discover what adventures can be had when trying to conduct research in remote wilderness areas. You’ll come to understand why Dr. Luckman sees this park as a teaching laboratory where people can see and understand the landscape and its history.

In the 18th century, the Hudson’s Bay Company and the North West Company established a series of trading posts. A result of these interactions was marital or common-law unions between Europeans involved in the fur trade and First Nations women. In time, their descendants came to be known as “Métis.”

100 Years of the
Canadian National Railway
Exhibition
|
|
Stemming from the collapse of private railway companies, the Canadian National Railway was founded in 1919, saving the lifeline of Jasper. Canada’s road to independence has always been tied to the coming and going of people and goods along the tracks for a century. The Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives is celebrating this milestone with an exhibit detailing the rise of railways in Canada and the critical role it played in the development of Jasper and Jasper National Park. How it changed the lives of people on trains, near stations, and those travelling – as well as how it shaped the way Canadians look at their national history and relation with each other. Celebrate past triumphs, new beginnings, and hardships set around the rails.
Exhibition runs from:
July 26th - November 17th, 2019
Come join us for 100 years on the rails
All Aboard!

Dorothy Joan Robson Collection
'Watercolor Painter'
Art Exhibition
|
|
(Dorothy) Joan (1906 - 2001) was a self-taught botanist and talented watercolour painter. She was an avid outdoorswoman and pressed many of the flowers she found in her travels. In 1967, she was granted a rare, official dispensation to pick the flowers in a National Park (Jasper). In July 1927, Joan was a member of the Jack Brewster pack horse trip on the Glacier Trail, from Jasper to the Columbia Icefields, before the road was built. Joan later worked for the Imperial Bank in Jasper and for the Parks Canada Commission. The Robson family home was moved from its original location to the 400 block of Patricia where it is currently used as the office for the Jasper Chamber of Commerce.
Exhibition runs from:
January 15th - March 31st, 2019
Closing Wine & Cheese Reception:
Friday, March 15th
4pm - 7pm
At Joan's former Residence which is now occupied by the Jasper Chamber of Commerce
409 Patricia St.
Tours of the house will be provided
Joan’s watercolors and other early images as well as the flowers that she picked in 1967 were donated to the Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives in 1993.

ENEMY ALIENS
INTERNMENT IN CANADA, 1914 - 1920
|
|
As the British Empire went to war in 1914, thousands of newly - arrived European immigrants to Canada fell under suspicion as citizens of enemy empires. National security fears and wartime prejudice drove the policy of internment, which lasted until 1920. During this time, Canada interned 8,579 men identified as enemy aliens, mainly Ukrainian and German immigrants, across a network of 24 camps. Now, 100 years later, using photographs drawn from Canadian archival collections, Enemy Aliens – Internment in Canada, 1914–1920 explores internment operations and the experiences of the internees: who they were, the conditions they endured, and the legacy they left behind.
Exhibition runs until September 30, 2018

Lake Edith Artists Exhibition
|
|
The Jasper-Yellowhead Museum & Archives are once again proud to host the artists of Lake Edith. For the past 22 years the Lake Edith artists have presented their work bi-annually in our gallery.
Their artwork is representative of the surrounding landscape and animals in the environment through painting, sculpture, photography and textile art forms.
The Sub-division of Lake Edith was conceived by Agnes Laut in the 1920's when she petitioned the Federal Government for 10 lots so that writers and artists could establish a community to foster their representation of the Park. Some of the original cabins are still in use and many have been passed down through multiple generations.
The artistic history of Lake Edith influenced many residents to train formally as artists at University or Art Colleges, or informally develop their artwork by attending workshops and maintaining a vigorous practise.
Exhibition runs from:
May 7th - May 27, 2018

Mary Schäffer and Women in the Rocky Mountains of Canada
|
|
Features two exhibitions, Secret No Longer: Mary Schäffer’s Jasper, 1908 and 1911 and This Wild Spirit: Women in the Rocky Mountains of Canada.
When viewed together, these shows foster deeper insight into Mary Schäffer’s photographic legacy in Jasper and its place among women’s creative practices in the Canadian Rockies.
Mary Schäffer was a photographer, writer, and botanical painter from Philadelphia who garnered an international reputation for her images, books, and mountain journeys in 1907, 1908, and 1911 to find and map Maligne Lake. And yet, she was not a lone adventurer off the beaten tracks of the railway and its tourist amenities.
She worked within a diverse web of women who made significant contributions to Rocky Mountain histories and cultures, both in Schäffer’s day and afterwards.
Exhibition runs from:
January 18 - April 29, 2018

Drawings by Jason Bartziokas Drawings

The show consists of drawings created over the past year and chronicles visitors to Jasper, National Park. I really wanted to construct a body of work that was free from expectation and therefore, allowed complete creative freedom. When you don't know your subject, reality and imagination can merge without worrying someone will be offended.

This exhibit will appeal to people who are interested in glaciers, trees and scientific research-especially people who have been to or are planning to visit the Columbia Icefield or Mount Edith Cavell area.
Dr. Brian Luckman and his students have studied glaciers and tree rings in the Rockies for more than 40 years. This exhibit shares their adventures as they uncover the mysteries of glaciers and their movements over many years. You will learn about tree rings and the stories they tell and discover what adventures can be had when trying to conduct research in remote wilderness areas. You’ll come to understand why Dr. Luckman sees this park as a teaching laboratory where people can see and understand the landscape and its history.
