About the Archives
The Archives were established in 1990 to serve as the institutional memory of Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. With a mandate to identify, preserve, and make available the Centre’s historical legacy, the Archives serve as the official repository for administrative, legal, and historical materials. Additionally, the Archives house selected personal records of artists and individuals associated with the Centre.
The Archives are open to all Banff Centre community members as well as researchers from the general public. Please contact us to ask questions about your research. Visits to the Archives are available only by appointment to ensure that materials are available.
