[0035] Alberta Report fonds, 1973-2003, PR0440 [partly digital collection]
Location: University of Calgary Archives, 2500 University Dr NW, Calgary, AB, Canada
Description: The Alberta Report began as a weekly general news magazine called the St. John's Edmonton Report. The main focus was on political figures and events from a socially conservative Christian viewpoint. The magazine opposed gay rights, feminism, and abortion.. It followed the early years of the political birth of the Reform Party of Canada, and later the Alliance Party, as well as the beginning of Preston Manning's and Ralph Klein's political careers. By the mid-1990s, the editorial focus of the magazine shifted to social issues. Plunging into the "Culture Wars", the Report's perspective on feminism, abortion, gay rights, affirmative action, human rights law, subsidized art and political correctness earned the reputation of the magazine as being intolerant, bigoted, and at times racist. The fonds consists of records of the Alberta Report, including magazines, photographs, and negatives. Both the Provincial Archives of Alberta (8555 Roper Road, Edmonton, AB T6E 5W1) and the University of Calgary own the fonds.
