Ruth Gorman Curated Archive

A passionate political activist in many regards — with a particular focus on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, women, and people with disabilities — Ruth Gorman (1914-2002) committed her life to seeking justice for marginalized and disenfranchised groups. The Ruth Gorman Curated Archive contains various notes, letters, articles, and other writings from Gorman's storied life of advocacy work in Alberta, Canada.

The Ruth Gorman fonds is held by the Thomas A. Edge Archives & Special Collections at Athabasca University. This site was created in partnership with the Thomas A. Edge Archives & Special Collections and graduate students enrolled in GSJ 598 / DH 530: "Building Intersectional Feminist Archives" at the University of Alberta and represents a small selection of materials from the fonds.
