The Provincial Archives of Alberta holds death registration records for some communities in Alberta for the time period ca. 1870 - 1980.

Note that these death registration records are not indexed; rather they are arranged by community and then by date. Therefore to find a specific individual, it would be necessary to know both where in Alberta someone and approximately when someone died.

Contract researchers are available to search the records on your behalf. The rate is Cdn$40 per hour (minimum of 1 hour, prepaid).

The Provincial Archives of Alberta requires payment in advance for all orders. We can accept Visa and MasterCard, or we can invoice you. The research will commence once payment has been received. There is a Cdn$6.00 mail-out charge on non-Canadian orders. Unfortunately, the Provincial Archives cannot accept personal cheques.
