Peel's Prairie Provinces is 10!
Ten years ago today, the Peel's Prairie Provinces website was launched! The content of the site has grown exponentially since that time, with more newspapers, directories, postcards, books, etc., added every year. In the upcoming months, we will be highlighting some of our latest treasures that await your perusal. To celebrate with us today, why not take a look back in time at this 2003 Folio article, "Peel's project finally completed," that announces the new website? Little did we know this project was only just taking off…

21 décembre 2012Halloween shenanigans!
You may have noticed that many of your favourite features of the Peel site are not currently available. While you were at nice Halloween parties on the weekend, we've been working frantically to restore our servers after a major power outage on campus. It must be all the ghouls and goblins out and about for Halloween playing tricks on our content! We hope to have everything working properly again as soon as possible. In the meantime, please be patient with the Peel site's tomfoolery!

23 décembre 2011Halloween on the Prairies
Oooo, Halloween is here again! To get you in the spirit, why not check out some items from our collection, like this elaborate poem, this tale of Halloween antics, or these images of a Halloween show. It seems that, once upon a time, Halloween carried with it romantic connotations, as demonstrated by this Halloween story and this example of odd Halloween lore.
