Olav Aaberg (1897-1994) was born in Norway, the third of eleven children. He graduated from University of Oslo as a land surveyor and engineer, then immigrated to Canada in 1927. After a brief time in Calgary, he moved to Edmonton, where he began work for Northern Alberta Railway in 1930. That year, he married Mabel Marshal (1909-2002). Olav painted watercolours starting in the 1940s, and after he retired in 1962 focused on oil paintings. His obituary states that he created hundreds of oils and portraits over the years, but was most proud of his scene of the Klondike Days Promenade. It took two years to complete, and was displayed in City Hall and other government buildings.

Greg Barker in his Corvette
CA EDM MS-1235-1-1 · Item · 1982
Part of Gregory Barker fonds

This photograph depicts Gregory Barker sitting in his 1976 Corvette Stingray. The car has a red leather interior, and Gregory Barker can be seen sitting in the driver's seat with one hand on the steering wheel. A comment on the photograph written by Gregory Barker reads: "When Tom Waddell, Olympic athlete and the founder of the Gay (Olympic) Games, came out in 1976, he stated that he was 'interested in presenting a new image of what it was to be a gay man in America.' Like Tom Waddell, I (Greg Barker) founder of the Edmonton Roughnecks Recreation Association in 1980 (Alberta's first gay sports organization), wanted to challenge the limiting stereotypes imposed and reinforced by homophobia on Gay men, and to expand the repertoire of role models. We are not only ballet dancers, hairdressers and drag queens - the latter to whom we are forever indebted to for their aid in launching the modern gay rights movement at Stonewall in 1969. We are also truck drivers, postmen, doctors, engineers, policemen, accountants, carpenters, and football players. Our community includes the Outlandish and the Tom-Finlandish, and everything in between. The name 'Roughnecks' was chosen with reference to the oilpatch, but more importantly to signal that a man who loved another man could also be masculine."
