Radio/Archive Exhibition

This exhibition explores archival materials related to the historical Department of Radio and Television at the University of Alberta. Founded in 1927, CKUA was launched by the University of Alberta’s Department of Extension as an alternative to educational outreach through in-person lecture circuits in rural Alberta. Broadcasting initially from the UAlberta campus, the station focused from the outset on literary readings, dramatic performances, music concerts, and academic lectures. U of A faculty continued to develop CKUA radio programming for over 40 years following CKUA’s departure from campus, first under the Radio Service, and then the Department of Radio and Television (RTV).

Exhibit runs
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, March 25 - April 17
