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.

This item consists of the thematic finding aid compiled of records regarding the Alberta Hotel. The Alberta Hotel was a historic building which was systematically demolished in 1983 with the intention of rebuilding it in another location at some point. The reconstruction was finally accomplished in 2012 when the building was reopened as the headquarters of CKUA Radio within a half block of its original site. At the time of the re-opening, City of Edmonton Archivists thought that there might be interest in the Alberta Hotel's story and so created this finding aid to assist researchers to find all the material held in the Archives.
