Ted Hart, executive director of the Whyte Museum arrived and gave tours of the home.

Ted Hart, executive director of the Whyte Museum, said he and his staff were particularly proud of this exhibition because it is the first time ever that they put together an exhibition of this magnitude entirely on their own.

Ted Hart graduated from the University of Alberta with a Master's Degree in Western Canadian History in 1972.Recruited to work in the nascent archives at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, he learned the archival profession on the job under the direction of the late Maryalice Stewart and through the first of the archives summer school sessions taught by the late Jim Parker at the University of Alberta.In 1976, Ted became Head Archivist and in 1979 the Executive Director of the Whyte Museum, a position which he continues to hold.

Ted attended the founding meeting of the Association of Canadian Archivists at the University of Alberta and with a handful of other Alberta archivists created the Archives Society of Alberta in 1981, serving as its founding president.Ted's responsibilities as Executive Director at the Whyte Museum precluded direct involvement in its ongoing activities, but he has remained a keen user of archives from a research perspective, now having written a dozen books, mostly on the history of the Canadian Rockies.

In addition, Executive Director Ted Hart and Head Archivist Don Bourdon were recently invited to represent the Museum at the ACC's Rogers Pass Annual General Meeting and centennial celebration, joining Club members and friends on a steam excursion from Field, B.C. to Glacier Station on the Canadian Pacific Railway's historic Empress.
