 Cancelled Brand FilesThis project began in the late 1980s when the Alberta Agricultural Department donated the original documents to the Stockmen's Memorial Foundation. The Library, since then, has been entering these cancelled brand files into a data base. The files are the original documents kept from 1885 to 1987. Some years are missing due to fires in the early years. The documents contain the requests from the farmers, ranchers and businesses for a brand for horses, cattle, foxes, sheep and poultry. Each file contains at least one sheet with information re: location of the owner's grazing lands and the possible choices of brands. Many files will have lengthy correspondence relating to the brands. Currently 155 boxes of files are placed on this web page. This completes the collection.The spelling of the names is recorded as the applicants wrote them with the towns where they were located. If you wish to obtain more information about the files, a fee of $15.00 per file (plus postage and handling) will be charged prior to release for searching and photocopying.
