Women of Aspenland The Women of Aspenland is a documentation and exhibit project begun by the Central Alberta Museum Network (CARMN) in 1996. The purpose of the project is to tell and preserve the stories of women in our communities who represent who we have been, who we are, and who we would like to be. Each woman’s life story reflects some of the diverse traditions that shape our collective identity as a community. The goal of the project is to document women’s history and understand the important roles of women in our community over time. Several museums across Central Alberta continue this fine tradition of preserving and celebrating local women’s history by inducting members of their community into the Women of Aspenland hall of fame (www.unlockthepast.ca/24/people/list). 30 Central Alberta Regional Museums Network
