Project Description

Lethbridge has a rich history of community development encompassing the growth of social and cultural institutions combined with industrial and agricultural industries. Several aspects have been studied, but an integrated accessible, online public resource is missing. What people see every day had no link with the past. The multidisciplinary GO! History project created an interactive app that forms the basis of a self-guided tour composed of local historic sites significant to community development. The initial project in Lethbridge historical research served as a methodological and technological framework to create a Lethbridge tour, which can be expanded into surrounding counties.
