Question Number 478
My mother died of cancer in 1949. I would like to access
her medical records to find out what kind of cancer it was.Thank you.
The Provincial Archives of Alberta does not typically collect individual patient medical files although there are some hospital records in the holdings. The first step is to contact the hospital where your mother died, and ask if where their medical records are now located. If the records have been transferred to the Provincial Archives, call 780-427-1056 to have a Reference Archivist assist you in searching for hospital records.
