About the Edmonton City as Museum Project

Launched in 2013, the Edmonton City as Museum Project (ECAMP) is an initiative of the Edmonton Heritage Council that explores the history of our city through story. The stories that connect us, the stories that divide us, and the stories that nurture an appreciation of our differences as Edmontonians.

Rather than housing these stories in a physical museum complete with hushed galleries, curated exhibits and tangible objects, ECAMP is a virtual & floating entity that exists throughout Edmonton, offering both online and in-person heritage experiences.

The ECAMP website collects & presents the stories of the People, Places, Things, & Moments significant to our city’s history as told from the perspectives of Edmontonians.

Our ECAMP events bring these stories to life, situating the history of this place in our everyday experiences and connecting those stories to where they actually happened. Past ECAMP events include the Curiosities Bus Tours, Float Yer Boat: River Curiosity Tours, Brew-Curious-YEGs Brewing History Tours, pop-up museums, and panel talks.

The ECAMP podcast explores Edmonton’s stories in a format that can keep you company during your commute on the LRT, while you shovel the front walk, or during a walk the river valley.

If you would like to get involved with ECAMP as a volunteer, are interested in sharing your Edmonton history story, or would like to make a donation, please get in touch with the ECAMP Curator at info@citymuseumedmonton.ca.

Thank you
