Galt Museum & Archives
Galt Museum & Archives is the primary museum in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, and is the largest museum in the province south of Calgary. In 2006, the museum cared for a growing collection of over 20,000 artifacts and 300,000 archival documents and photographs record the history of Lethbridge and southern Alberta. It attracts over 50,000 visitors every year.
==History==
A Scientific and Historical Society was formed in Lethbridge in October 1888. Little was done for record archival, and emphasis for the society laid with the presentation of papers at bi-weekly meetings.
In 1944, Walter Gurney opened a private museum—the first museum in the city—in the former Board of Trade building. He collected several oddities and curios. Eventually, his museum closed and many of its artifacts moved to the private Altamont Museum in Coutts, Alberta.
The first civic museum opened in 1964 with George McKillop as curator. It was located in three rooms in the former Bowman Elementary School (now Bowman Arts Centre). The museum quickly outgrew its space and within three years had moved into the considerably renovated former Galt Hospital. The Sir Alexander Galt Museum and Archives was operated until 1971 by The Lethbridge and District Historical Society.
