Find Birth, Marriage and Death Records
For the preservation of these important documents, original Vital Statistics records are not accessible in the Sandra Thomson Reading Room. All Vital Statistics requests and payments must be made through our online payment system.
The Provincial Archives of Alberta holds hundreds of thousands of vital statistic records – birth, marriage and death records.
