This catalogue introduces the work of Miriam Green Ellis
(1879-1964), pioneer woman journalist of Western Canada. Never one
to follow a typical path, she steered clear of the "women's page"
and society columns; her livelihood was the agricultural beat.
Ellis's daring journey by river steamer from Edmonton to Aklavik in
1922-documented with a diary, travelogue, photographs and
slides-launched and illustrated her subsequent "Land of the
Midnight Sun" lectures, and secured her position as Western Editor
for the Family Herald and Weekly Star. The materials she bequeathed
to the University of Alberta include published newspaper articles,
photographs, coloured glass slides, manuscripts, diaries, and
letters; the Collection's cultural and ethnographic value to
researchers is unparalleled. Miriam Green Ellis: Champion of the
West samples the rich diversity of the Collection, while inviting
you to see the way we were as Westerners almost a century ago and
demonstrating why the West remained Ellis's emotional home. This
Miriam Green Ellis exhibition catalogue won an award of excellence
from the University and College Designers Association (UCDA). Once
again, Lara Minja's beautiful entry was favourably recognized by a
panel of judges for excellence in concept, typography,
illustrations, printing, and overall design. Well done!
