The Women's History Network of British Columbia
Canada is a broadly based not- for-profit society that exists to celebrate the contributions women have made to the history of the province. Composed of women who research, discuss, write about and care about women's history, it provides opportunities for networking and for sharing information. The Network includes as members archivists, teachers, professors, writers, genealogists, students and others interested in the field of women's history.

The Women of Aspenland
The Women of Aspenland Virtual Exhibit places artifacts and archival materials—the stuff of heritage collections—within a context of meaning. It is an entry point into a region in Central Alberta that is defined by its geography—both physical and human. The lives of women are at the heart of it and their activities, over a period of nearly 100 years, are viewed against the backdrop of settlement and modern history. The website has three sections.
